Also this:

$40 from Harbor Freight. 500lb capacity. Yeah, I'd have to unload it and take it off before I can open the back, but it's always good to have more storage.

I was looking at that exact one a while back but didn't see any positive reviews.......

FINALLY got the exhaust finished. With some Borla goodness. It drones a LITTLE bit at interstate speeds.

Shop charged me $175 to install the supplied Y-pipe and custom bend all the tubing for the catback. Install came out super clean.

Seeing how my trash can of a muffler now has a hole in it somewhere.. full on Ricer effect from 2700-2900 rpm.. I am going to need a new exhaust.

What made you choose the Borla? I guess now that I am in the market, I want to know what people have and why they like/dislike it.

I've always liked how Borla sounds. Plus it's a straight through design for lower back pressure. The muffler was cheap on eBay. Like $60. Not the $150 that the big box stores want. I've had MagnaFlow & DynaMax on my Mustang in the past and wanted to do something different. And I hate Flowmaster.

Alright...real talk...do you actually notice any power or performance increase from doing the full exhaust headers back? I have a custom magnaflow cats-back, and am contemplating whether it is worth it to "finish the job" with the headers.

And let's see the cross over and Y pipe!

Power and gas mileage have both noticeably increased

Is it mid range power, low end acceleration, top end power, etc? Just curious...I am looking for something that I can do to help the sluggish very slow acceleration. Not that I expect to make it a race car...but anything that helps merge into traffic on the highway is a major help

Out with the old (2x36w):

In with the new! (1x100w):

22" full of 10 x 10w Cree goodness.

Thankfully the hole spacing was close enough on the light bar that I didn't have to change anything but the lights themselves.

Should have it wired up and functional tomorrow.

The old ones? Yeah. Same ones you just put on your bumper.

These two are spoken for. However. There will be two more in the near future.

So.

No light.

Light bar only.

The extra 28 watts of power made a big difference.

Plus the single bar looks better.

Light bars look good! Was wondering has anyone ever cut out a hole in the plastic wind dam on roof rack so that the light bar would get mounted in behind it? As much as I like the light bars on top but when riding out here the first tree branch would scratch it or worse take the light bar right off. :( Looks good.

I've actually considered exactly that with these 6" bars like he took off, going in between my factory mickey mouse lights and recessing these in the air dam, except, as he pointed out, A. you have to reinvent the mounting system, and B, that's even more loss of aerodynamics, which makes the already "not great" fuel economy even worse...

No hoops. No top bars of any kind. Can't stand them. Just the bumper with some custom lighting. Because it's all about lights.
