I love them, I can feel the weight savings from the detroits. The steering feels lighter. The downside is they're harder to clean with all the spokes.

I hear ya. I've had multispoke wheels before and they're a pain to clean. Thankfully I discovered sonax full effect wheel cleaner and wheel brushes/woolies. It is WAAAY easier to clean the wheels and calipers. The ultrallegeras shouldn't be too bad but what can you do, performance comes at a price.

I have the same wheels. Yes they take more time to clean over the denvers or Detroits, but honestly it maybe an extra minute or two per wheel. With sonax full effect and the wheel woollies it is a breeze. They are totally worth it. Three things I get complimented on the most are the wheels, tail lights and plaid review mirror. Car is looking great!

Also, I've been meaning to pick up some sonax, I hear it's amazing.

Thanks to SPM, I purchased a downpipe at a meet organized by them and Funktion Auto in Sterling, VA. The quality looks great, can't wait to install it.

Magnaflow with a DP is just wonderful sounding. Be prepared for lots of burbling. LOVE mine.

How did I miss this?

Looks good man! was that cubby hard to install?

ECS has a good walkthrough for it. It's not hard, but not easy either. If you don't have any sort of ratcheting box wrenches I highly recommend them for the install.

I'm looking forward to it, heard some videos online with this setup and it sounded great. Well, as good as it can sound with youtube audio...

I assume you mean the thread

I agree with crash, I used the ecs walkthrough. It's straight forward, but without the wrenches that crash mentioned there is one step that takes forever.

Well yes. I've seen your car in person plenty of times. AND I was the devil on your shoulder for the downpipe!

Thanks! Lots of stuff that I want to do, but I'm waiting for the holidays to pass and will take some bonus(fingers crossed)/tax return money to get some stuff. I just dropped a lot of money on the honeymoon so I'm cooling it for now haha.

I've been dragging my feet on going stage 2 for a while now, probably need to just bite the bullet and get a downpipe and intake next. I'm thinking of getting a billy boat downpipe, seems to pair up nice with the magnaflow catback.

And I'll cut you if you come near my dash cubby. :slice:

I lied......:laugh:
