That's ridiculously slammed. Look at the clearance of the side skirts...

Yeah, I'm sitting quite low. Reason I took the sideskirts off was because of the clearance actually...they scraped quite a few times (hence the paint flaking and me taking them off)

It works. They said it would be louder without the resonator, but all I really hear more of is spool.

That's what I mean by spool: the hiss is definitely much more noticeable.

Car Info: 12Teens crazy 4 me

Installed Perrin Shifter bushings and Perrin Short shifter adapter!

all I got to say is HOLY ****. The shifter bushings make a night an day difference! makes shifting so buttery smooth compared to OEM ones. The perrin short shifter adapter is awesome, but the shorter throws are throwing me off. lol

Not that you can see everything there, but NICE! If someone didn't know what to look for, it almost looks stock.
