:welcome: to the team. Glad to have you on board. I'm JJ if you have any questions. Thanks for your support. Enjoy.

In the words of the Men's Wearhouse commercial guy, you'll love this site, I guarantee it! If all goes well this next Friday, hopefully we can meet up again @ Sonic...

Welcome to the area. I'm deployed right now but I'll be back in about 45 days or so. You should come out to an auto-x with fujiwara, rek, myself and Ben if his car decides to stay running long enough.

You're running just a downpipe? Why not a cat back also? For some of the auto-x events there is a Db limit, and with just an open dump off the downpipe, it's gotta be extremely loud under load.

I'm trying to find a good exhaust right now, maybe dp too.. I'm also just thinking about putting a cut out on it for track days

 

[IGOTASTi]

I run the Invidia V3 DP, and the Invidia N1 street exhaust and love it. Sounds good and not over powering. Also the quality is A+.

 

[STimedic]

I have an APS DP and Megan CBE, look around on here and NAZIOC, I'm sure you can find a good setup for dirt cheap like I did.

I'm running the 3.5" HKS Hi Power. I <3 it very much.

Ellloo, hey anyone from this area; is epic performance a good shop? Good deals? Quality work etc?

 

[Paul.c]

Welcome, nice ride.

 

[STimedic]

Due to some strife here in the Bragg/Fayetteville Subie community and due to outstanding issues with Epic (previously supported them myself, not anymore, but still friends with a couple of the Epic guys), I would not recommend them at this time. Between, myself, Steve (frankensubie), Gino, Edwin and Jon, we can do pretty much anything you want to your car via Spec Ops.

Issue I had: Jap @ Epic installed my 20G and conveniently left the UP-Turbo gasket off, leading to a massive exhaust leak and me wondering why my car felt so down on power for a 20G until the teardown of my motor. Their quality/personnel aren't what they used to be, which resulted in the rift that has come between some of us. Whatever you do, DO NOT ORDER FROM IMPORT IMAGE EITHER!!!

 

[frankensubie]

welcome to the area ! if you're in the hope mills area stop on over and see us at Spec ops !

 

[C NO EVO]

I'll definitely stop by

Lemme know when you want to go over there, I need to go over to the paint shop next to it to see if they do vinyl wraps.

 

[Z1107]

how much do the vinyl wraps cost. i was looking at doing matte black on my bugeye

 

[STimedic]

Vinyl is around $375-400, looking at doing white with flat black on mine since paint costs so much and some douchebag rode my neighbors' dirt bike into my garage door and car, scratching the hell out of it. Paint for a new rear bumper and on the trunklid is around $500, but I've also got a decades' worth of rock chips, door dings and etc, so I'll just pay to have the car vinyled and want to find out if they can and how much. Heard anywhere from $3-800.

 

[STimedic]

Kerry made it sound like it's going to cost my first-born, so I might do some research and look into learning how-to.....will make a great thread!

 

[Z1107]

Just spoke to two local shops, both around 2200 to 2500 installed.

 

[Undecisive]

If you do a vinyl wrap do something awesome looking. not just a single color. That's wayyyy to much in my opinion
