So I just ordered my ssr header through the group buy yesterday.
I just ordered my motegi trak lites off ebay.

I need to order an intake and exhaust.....
I had a fujita sri once upon a time and sold it because i thought i was selling my car. I loved the sound of the sri, and people say the cai doesnt sound quite as good. I am in CA, so I guess hydrolocking is not that big a deal, however the last few days here it was pouring and I'd be afraid to drive with a cai on the crappy freeways.

It comes down to:
Injen CAI or Fujita SRI?

I also need an exhaust again, I had the skunk2 and sold it when I thought I was selling my car, the exhaust was too bloody loud and I'd never run it again. I am looking for 2.5 inch diameter to keep it consistant with the ssr header, but I don't want something as loud as the skunk2. I will be running an odb1 highflow cat which will also make it a bit louder, I have no way of hearing the exhausts so I'm not sure which of these three I want.

Magnaflow, vibrant, comptech.

My guess is with the header and highflow with the comptech would be probably as loud as the skunk2? Can anyone else tell me about noise levels?

I'm fine with cutting the fender, taking the bumper off.
After driving in the rain though, there were some random puddles on the freeway that i couldnt even see and it made a big bam on my wheel well. I dunno....the roads are pretty crappy around here even if it doesnt rain too much.

I just bought the K&N Typhoon (arrived today!), but that doesn't help you much. I have two motorcycles with K&N filters, and I like the idea of not having to buy new filters or deal with multiple brands...

There is some discussion of intakes in the : Vibrant performance on DynoJunkies.com" thread...

Try looking at the "***Official Exhaust Thread: Vids/Sound clips***". That might help. I just got the Vibrant. I didn't want a loud exhaust either, but it's not installed yet...

Is the horrible fitment only on the R18? because the one I have on my Si fit pefectly. I put it on myself in 30 mins and have had it for more then 8 months now with no problems. It's a really great exhaust and a great deal if you want something a little more subtle then the skunk2
