What kind of camber does one need to run for fitments like these? I'm looking at NT03M's in 9.5 +27 with 265/35's, but I don't want to run camber that really compromises grip.

Nothing crazy. I just removed the fender liners and bumper tabs. I will get an alignment one day and say actual specs.

Haha, that is my old car!

Might sound kind of funny because he cruises in same gear slowly into high rpms, I think. When mashing it in high RPM's the sound was amazing. True rotary bee-hive chainsaw sound

Mazdaspeed intake
RE-Amemiya header
Racing beat non-resonated mid-pipe
JIC/Power Enterprise 3" full titanium cat-back

Maybe he has an exhaust leak from being so low? Its probable.

I have that exhaust combo except stock header and BHR midpipe. I'm gonna blame the unresonated midpipe. Also, wtf is with that front lip? That car is just gonna get riced out BAD. RIP car

Yes, the exhaust was loud as ****. Not as loud as the same combo + HKS single exit that I ran for a while though, lol. Never got an exhaust ticket though

Haha, that is the RE-Amemiya splitter/canard combo. I love that thing! Many people considered my car rice with my aero as well, just a matter of preference.

Semi-related - is your catback actual 3" piping, or the 2.76"? I had two JIC full ti's prior to this one, both with 2.76". When I picked this one up, I was told it was a Power Enterprise prototype, but to me it looked like it was produced in the same factory as the JIC (not uncommon).

Authentic is $$$ but I think this could be a replica, not too sure.


Good work Munchy!

I've measured mine and I'm 99% sure it is 3".

I feel like that setup would sound perfect with the RB dual resonated midpipe.
