So I've gotten some more work done to the car. The engine bay was painted a candy apple red. The engine was installed about a month ago and we were waiting on my new headers that I sent out to get coated. I also ordered a magnaflow catalytic converter and resonator with some 2.5'' stainless steel piping to make an exhaust system. I made it so when I take it to the track, I can drop the catback from the headers and put an extension pipe on w/ out the cat converter, resonator and muffler.
Here are some pictures of my car when I got it.
Painted engine bay. Another coat along with the clear coats were added the next day, so this isn't the exact color. But I didn't get a picture of it finished without the engine in it.
Engine with old headers on. (this is the paint with the extra coat and clear coat.)
Three weeks and $400 coating later, the coated headers arrived.
Later that day, the new exhaust was on, along with the headers.
The muffler at the back of the car seems to have something lost on the inside, so I will have to get a new mufler. I was thinking about going with tanabe, but please recommend others.
I just have to say, the engine with this exhaust sounds soooo bad asss. I can't wait to get it running well. I still have to get a new ecu and get it tuned. The wheels are going to get polished and the whole car still needs to be painted.
