You are in Auto One & decide that your misses car (2000 Integra - non Type R) needs to go faster.... :lol:

Pod filter & heat shield on a '00 Integra - 20 min job. Goes like the clappers now!

Her concern about the noise soon dissapated when she felt the extra ponies it released! :lol:

Its not just my car getting special treatment at the moment, the misses is getting some attention too :D

After today, I've decided the next car I buy - will have been sold in Australia. Every single exhaust place I rang today to find these.... had f*cking dozen of sets in stock! All I needed to do was get the best price!!

Am extremely impressed with the finished quality. Nicely ground welds, no dags or rough edges... smooth as silk. And for only $300 for the set in stainless, who wouldn't.
