Full MBRP custom I'm sure.

What I meant to say was I wasn't sure if I liked the sound of the exhaust - to be followed closely by the LOL - for a little bit of ZTW humour.

Oh well...

No, I'm not super fond of the sound either... Sounds like a Honda lol... I think I'm gonna eventually get them to change out resonators.

No Korby I was joking (or at least trying to LOL) ... I don't mind the sound at all. If you want to make it deeper I'm good with that, but really it's nice and I've liked every MBRP exhaust I've ever installed on any of my Foci.

Lol I know, but my system on my 01 automatic has a way deeper tone... What im actually thinking I might do is just swap out resonator pieces between the two and see what it sounds like

SUSPENSION IS ON!! Will add pics tomorrow! LOOOOOVE the stance! Need to get the new rims on and then figure out the spacers I need... The stock wheels are wayyyy in from the fender.

If you go more than 5mm or so for the spacers, you'll need the expensive hub-centric ones that are like 129 per end or something like that. The cheap 5mms are no good to you if you need a big build-out.

Go to the fswerks page.... They have up to 15mm on their site. Also, I'll have to wait to see what they look like with my new rims, they'll be 42mm offset

Pics!!

Before!!
Driver rear

Passenger Front


AFTER!!!

Looks great. Bet it's a lot stiffer now.

Yea, hell of a lot stiffer. However I did think it was gonna be stiffer than it actually is... My frpp I have on my 01 feels stiffer... I can't wait to get stress bars and eibach sway bars installed.

The stance looks awesome.

Need to get the black sparco assetto garas bought badd

Whoop!! K&N installed tonight!! Holy that was a lot of crap to take off!!! Ne one know what the upper snorkel is for that runs over the drivers side front wheel? Btw... Lovin the extra "whine" the intake adds to the engine... Can't wait to get my throttle body from chris (05blackzx5), thanks a lot chris

Congrats ... and Ford calls that thing an "air inlet tube" ... are you doing the dyno day thing - real interested to see what kind of numbers that thing makes.

Yea I am, I can't wait!!! I'm thinking 140-150... Not too sure though... Gonna try and get my balance shaft delete done by then as well.

My throttle body arrived today (thanks chris) so I tossed it on right after work. WOW, the throttle response is sooo much better... The throttle body paired with the k&n typhoon is awesome!! Can't wait to get on that dyno!!

looks great, can't wait to see what kind of numbers you put down with the new upgrades

Massive balance shaft delete kit ordered, and massive lower engine mount bushings ordered!!! Can't wait to feel the difference!

About time!!! Received my massive balance shaft delete kit, and dogbone poly inserts! 3 weeks later! Can't wait to get em in!
