Cool

Drove it, spent a little money, and then drove someone else's! So it's not what I did to just my car today?

Installed Saturday. Amazing difference in turbo response at low rpm and the pull after 5k rpm. Not to mention the exhaust tone as well. Sounds like a mean European sports car, and that's with a catted down pipe.

I'm actually ordering new tires today. Not sure which route to go for though, Hankook Ventus V4 or Falken Azenis. Going to continue researching each and look for reviews.

I picked my tires on the fozzy based on tire rack reviews and surveys. Totally satisfied. Just my $.02 bud!

Picked up the Perrin dual catback for $300 and cleaned it up and installed. Love how it sounds! Next thing is to get my wheels powder coated.

Wheel bearing should be a constant noise though, this is only when I brake at higher speeds. Thought my rotors were warped but nope, swapped out pads and rotors. We'll see, if anyone knows what it is let me know.

Not always, my wheel bearing is bad in my OBS and it shakes when braking but is silent. Jack it up, wiggle the wheel.

Also, when was the last time you rotated and rebalanced your wheels?

Hmmm, I'll check it but I already tried wiggling it, didn't move. My rears have some camber but I put my other wheels on and it did the same thing. Anything else I should check?

Its a long shot, but a toe in alignment can cause issues like that sometimes. Ive noticed that in the past, especially with my Jeep Wrangler I used to have. Drove fine, but under harder brakeing when more weight shifted forward it would initiate a shake and each wheel struggled to grip. Turns out I looked pigeon toed as all hell.

Replaced the DDM low beam setup that came with the car (one bulb went out and thought funk it buy a new set and use the old ballasts on one of my other vehicles) with DDM 55watt 6k setup. Loving it..
