I'm already with you on that. That gap has been bugging me more & more. I've got quite the list building up. Just ordere all new ignition stuff. Should be fun, somehow I've never changed spark plugs before so I think I'll be doing some browsing in the DIY section. Gonna do the TB bypass sometime this week when I can find some time.

Don't waste your time with the TB bypass mod, it's useless.

Yea I'm gonna do that rear bumper mod when I run out of stuff I can do myself. I don't trust myself to paint anything that is going on my car. Don't forget you have to cut that heatshield if you want people to see the exhaust.

Aftermarket shrouds. INGS style. But yes the entire rear bumper is one color. I go back and forth all the time if I should have left it flat black.

I guess I mean the part of the shroud near the exhaust tip. Has the heat messed up the paint there?

^ I am disappointed in myself! Yes it is a replica piece. I bought them with the intent to hack them and change their shape. Then I was going to use diffuser of the MS rear and these shrouds to make a custom piece.

The shrouds were completely painted BB and no issues with paint. I do not have 4" tips either so that probably helps.

Its not as though I'm expecting any kind of tangible gain. What's useless is a system intended to warm the TB (I just put the AEM "cold air" in) when I live in freakin Texas. I've got 5 bucks and 20 minutes to spare
