Official Cheap Mod Thread

edub370 · 06-29-2012, 12:59 PM

lol i was all about the hair dryer on high heat. get it really warm to where it becomes flexible. it took me about 45 min to an hour to do each. take your time and do a small section at a time (i started with the hardest curves first)heated up about 1" and stretched, formed, and dewrinkled. dont get discouraged tho. i messed up on my first attempt and had to peel off and start over. the learning curve on this stuff is quick tho once you figure out how to manipulate it.

i imagine the silver ring around the shifter would be a little tricky but coule be done. i would like to do mine as well. i think i may do part of my engine cover tomorrow (see kenchans album to see what im referring to).

I just gave up on it and decided to go in a different direction with my phone case

Hey, GTMat is an official cheap mod! If you're tired of the drone of your aftermarket exhaust set up or just simply want a quieter cabin, give us a call. For $90 you can have enough GTMat to cover the hatch, doors, wheel wells and then some.

Will do! Also I can't do a review on amazon from my phone so I'll have to do it at the house sometime.

Fitment is spot on. Just look how thin is the stock pipe.

Who sells this Y-pipe?

Z370Z011 · 10-31-2012, 08:24 PM

Yeah where can i get one of those^^^

you think it'll make a difference in power even though i only have AAM short tails? since i lack back pressure

I'm not an expert but any y-pipe is better than stock. Once you take it off you will see the diameter is smaller compare to the eBay one, you can't lose. Anyone chimes in?
