Well, if my shrouds melt.. I think I'll pop a CF bumper on there, maybe abit more resistant to heat then the plastic shrouds

seems like everyone is happy with the ap exhaust.... does it come with a dummy sensor to plug in and stop the cel from coming on?

also, does the flame shooting harm the engine?

idk about the dummy sensor i hope it does come with one but as far as th eflame no it doesnt hurt the engine. all it is is the unburned fuel coming out cuz the AP exhuast creates alot of heat and pressure so it pushes the backfiring out as flames

Anyone know where to get those chrome exhaust finishers? I'm talking about the ones that wrap around the inside of the shrouds to prevent damage?

no dummy sensor...you will get a cel with the catless midpipe instaled. small price to pay IMO

I love the sound... and the looks- on my third bumper though...
+1 mine rattles as well at low RPMs....annoying...

one of my tips was a little bent too. only one edge though so it was easily fixed. my rivets starting coming loose making the tips rattle like crazy. my shrouds never fit back on once i put it on so i drove around shroud-less for a while. i finally got a CF MS rear and my passenger side tip was rubbing the bumper. i couldn't drive it like that so i had my tips hacked off and some new ones welded on. i think I'm gonna go with an HKS Hi-Power later on. here's a pic of how it looks now.

Eventually you learn to ignore the light. At least I did in my other car.
