All I recall reading is that you need to get the MS bracket for the fog lights.
Don't recall having to cut anything, though I truthfully don't care to read up on the exterior mod sections of the forum.
So my knowledge on that topic is limited.

 

ok thank u. i got the fog light brackets i just dont want to take the grills out for the fogs

 

I never got a real close look at it, but I assume you would need to cut the grill since the lights stick out farther.
You might be able to modify the bracket to sit behind the grill, but would that really look good?

 

hmm yeah maybe il just cut it out then =/ i could always get some more of the grill..thanks for your help!

 

hey jon, i think im gonna look into an exoticspeed midpipe, you heard anything about em at all?

 

Might be able to use a hole saw like whats used for drywall to make a perfect circle.
Just a thought.

 

I have not heard it in person, so I can't honestly judge the sound quality.

 

alright just wondering, theres a vid on youtube of a guy with exoticspeed midpipe and greddy se exhaust and i really liked the sound of it, but wasnt sure if its like a bad brand or something like that.

 

You want to be a guinea pig with yet another mid-pipe

 

haha i suppose im fine with that, i already had the cancerous midpipe on for a while haha

 

TJ - ExoticSpeed and AgencyPower products seem to go hand in hand design wise and according to Bryce from FluidMotorsports they are fabricated in the same building. If that is true...I would avoid it like the plague. Brian can attest to the quality of the AP midpipe. There is a reason why it is $150 and the RacingBeat is $325.

Jon - How did the videos come out?

 

Not too bad.
I have it 90% done so I should have it completed tonight.

I wanted to slap you because when I drove around, you were supposed to sit in the back and make sure the camera stayed centered.
After my first turn, the camera fell and the video was rotated.
Luckily, I was able to rotate the video without it being real noticeable since the lower-left and upper-right corner was dark, so you can't notice the rotated border unless you are looking for it.

And my tips rattled worse in the video than in person.
I might have to fix the tips so we can do a re-shoot.
It was really annoying.

Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied.

 

I fixed the camera when you turned around the first time....at least I thought I did. For some reason the leg on my side got shorter and I couldn't reach down so I had to put the tape under the middle and try and hold it up. Should be fixed after your second on-ramp.

As for reshooting that part...Im down with that. Maybe we can work something out where we meet at a parking lot in the middle to do the reshoot if that is all you need.

 

Yeah.. I noticed it got better, but it was still noticeable.
No big deal, you can hardly tell that the video was rotated after I corrected it through the program.

 

So what was it that made your clutch so touchy and firm? Was that done via a fluid change or is that just how the ACT is?

 

The clutch and new heavy duty release bearing.

 

why should i avoid it like the plague? the exotic speed isnt 150$ its more than the agency power one. http://www.exoticspeed.ca/product_in...oducts_id=4598

 

I bet the ExoticSpeed is loud.
If your parents didn't like your previous one, they probably won't like this either.
But like I said before, I've never heard it in person.
I'm just judging by the single resonator dimensions.

 

idk when i heard the video it didnt sound too bad, i just miss drowning other peoples exhausts out and shooting flames

 

Then it might be perfect for you

 

i still would like to know why you guys think i should avoid this midpipe like the plague

 

Alright... finally finished the video comparing John's new Racing Beat mid-pipe against my MazSport mid-pipe:
http://www.vimeo.com/5650178

Let me know what you think before its posted to the masses.

 

and the conclusion is..... they sound exactly the same. johns sounds a bit throatier perhaps but i think its only thrown off by the rattle noise made by yours. its time for someone who has perfect pitch to make the call cuz its just really close.

 

Yeah... I might tackle the cat-back tip rattle this weekend and re-shoot that scene.
But I agree... its REALLY close.

 

i honestly liked his better in my driveway, but that video makes me like yours when your both doing the drive-by. revving next to each other didnt matter. if you fix that rattle sound i think people arent going to believe you two that you have different midpipes.
