QUOTE (HectortheRican @ Feb 28, 2011 - 8:53 PM) So I took the drive that Josh suggested and may I say, it was AWESOME. Total elevation change was about 4,500 feet. The climb up was nice and scenic, but the ride down was very, VERY fun. The GR2/TRD setup I have performs beautifully. I had a buddy riding with me to take pictures. Here's a few... Here's me on a bench with a snow ottoman.  and when u came back from that long rid, you decided to sit on the park bench...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Norberto. Reminds me of walking around town in Cataņo, Puerto Rico. I just recently painted my Euro splitters, so I took a few pictures to show them off.  You can't see the splitters in this picture... but I thought it looked good    I wish I knew a better place around here to take scenic pictures

Bought a set of kouki fogs, but I shipped them back home, since that's where I'll be in about 3 weeks. I'm excited

Finally, some significant progress. I got my header installed today. Was supposed to happen last summer, but unexpected costs came up, so the header ended up sitting in my room for a year.

Definitely not what I expected. I knew I wouldn't have a significant increase in noise, what with my GReddy SP1 and all, but there's only a very slight difference in noise. Very slight. I haven't driven it enough to notice anything else yet, however...

I mean, I can notice a difference. It idles a bit more aggressively and it's definitely a different sound. It's just not what I expected

Getting rid of the cast manifold will give the sound more of a rasp.

Yeah, it's an ST. Like I said, I liked the sound before, and it didn't change much, and I still like it. I just thought the tone would be a tad bit stronger is all.
