m4a1mustang's Z Ver. II thread: Project Déjà Blue

m4a1mustang · 08-13-2013, 06:29 AM

I haven't updated this thread as I have been on a bit of a hiatus, but I did just recently install an Ark Grip V2 CBE that I picked up used from forum and MAZOC member italy3541. He bought the exhaust from forum and MAZOC member MyKindaGuise. In total the exhaust had about 5600 miles on it, was in great condition, and I got a hell of a deal on it!

I'm VERY happy with the sound. It's deep down low with an exotic wail at mid-range and up top. It's loud when I want it, relatively quiet when I don't. Best of all... no drone at all at cruising speed. That's what I was worried about the most having had FI on my 2009... I didn't want to deal with drone again. Couldn't be happier with the end result.

I'll be getting some exhaust vids done in the next week or so and take some quality pics to update.

What did I tell you?! HKS style resonators for the win! How do you think I've been able to park under your deck for free all these years? ...nice and quiet until you open'er up!

nice thread man!!! I have to ask you.... do you still have the stock springs in your car? or you changed?

BTW I like the way that looks with the 20mm spacers all around

I still have the stock springs. Thought about lowering it but I can't with the roads I encounter on a daily basis. Heck I scrape in my driveway as it is!

I love my Berk HFC/CBE combo - no drone, etc. either.

Curious to hear your exhaust.

And yes, scraping on everything stock height means no lowering for me either.

Great!!!! in the pics looks lowered

but i think its the illusion of the spacers and you running hard on the curves loool!!!

I dont know what spacers buy now...

H&R 20mm F & 25mm R or 20mm all around

20mm all around is a good choice. I really don't think I will lower it... I scrape too much as it is.
