GReddy & Tanabe Club - I'm IN!!

GReddy exhaust and Tanabe Sways (front and back) are installed. I'm still waiting for 2 of the 4 wheels to come in so they can mount my PZeros - (long story, UPS lost two, etc) Picked up my 8 yesterday afternoon and drove about for about an hour and half.

GReddy - I admit, I was torn between the GReddy and the RB exhaust. It wasn't until the last minute I decided on the GReddy. I just liked the way it looked. I am SOOOOO glad I went with my decision. It sounds amazing. Not loud at all during normal cruising. But when I lay on the gas, it gives a nice little growl. I have an AT but went to the paddles a few times to really hear it at the high RPMs. Sweet..sweet..sweet. Then there is that little pop when the RPMs drop fast.

And that GREddy break in odor...hmmmmmmm.

It fills out the back so well. Just mean looking. I pulled into my parking garage this morning and just had to gun it some to hear it echo. Amazing.

I see this guy in the garage a lot who has an Acura he has modded out for autoX. I usually end up parking next to him. Today was no different; except when I came around the corner and saw him looking to see who it was. I parked next to him and he had a big grin on his face. He said he noticed the new exhaust and loved it. Asked what it was, etc. We talked a bit - he loved the way it looked and sounded.

Still have the big **** eating grin on my face!

Tanabe Swaybars - another big difference. I took a few twisties and freeway on-ramps and could definitely feel the response a lot better. Could move faster through the curves - car felt like it was hugging the ground more. Even the smallest turn of the wheel showed a difference.

I'll post pics when the wheels and rims are mounted.

But so far, I'm ecstatic!
