Megan knocking to my door

Finally my pieces arrived
Megan racing:
Downpipe, Red lower H- Brace and Red rear lower tie bar
Plus Hawk HPS front and rear brake pads.



Nurse tools please

The downpipe installation is very easy but don't forget to get the 3 nuts and srews that join the downpipe and midpipe.




The Lower H-Brace installation is peace of cake.

Clearance:

After my first test drive the brace is totally scratched.... f...ing speed bumbers

To install the rear lower tie bar don't forget use the jacks before you remove the arm screw



I don't have pics of the brake pads installation(Camara battery is dead )

Before the mid night I hope to finish the installation of the fog lights(they arrived while i installed the H-Brace )

Sorry for my english but is not my native language

Salu2.

Looking good. Do you notice any gains on the downpipe? You're hooking it up to the stock exhaust, right?

Yes i notice the gains (no too much but is there) on mid and high rev.
the sound change a little bit (i installed Fujita CAI).
The biggest change is the revolitions when the car is idle. before 800rpm now 600rpm. (warm on)

No man the downpipe is only for no-Si but look that we have a downpipe for us R18 but not a decent catback. (i'm waiting for greddy ti-C).

The factory and aftermarket look the same as far as bends go. I don't see how it can free up hp? Am I missing something maybe?
