[philyphreak2127]

it sounds sick man.

 

[Matts96HB]

^ Thanks dude.

Working on that stupid timing issue here in a few, I've been too busy to get to it. The weather is shitty right now, so prolly won't be driving it until I get a stretch of nice weather.

 

[Matts96HB]

Its sunny, and I'm going to talk to a tuner today, hopefully he can get my ish leaned out a little bit so I can get this break in going!

 

[Luis998]

Great progress, Matt. That is awesome that you listed the parts and how much you spent as well, though I really wish my head work was going to be that cheap. haha Keep it up. I'm going to re-read part of your thread now.

 

[Luis998]

DUDE! YOU GOT A RAMHORN!!! I am so showing this to everyone at work. They think I'm CRAZY for wanting to spend $899 for my ramhorn. Mine will be a/c compatible and will be worth every penny since I live in Florida. I swear, PeakBoost will make a pretty penny off of me. haha

Where did you get yours?

I got mine from Peakboost as well, but it was Non-AC. And get this:

They couldn't sell it because its T4 flanged and 38mm wastegate, which is very uncommon because most go with Topmount and 44mm+.

Well, I got a synapse, which has a 38mm flange but is actually a very efficient wastegate and supports in excess of 500whp they claim.

I called them up, told them what I needed, and the guy said they have had one just sitting forever. I asked how much, he said 570, so I took it.

Watch the video, Luis!

 

[awptickes]

Man, looking at this thread makes me miss my EJ9.

 

[Matts96HB]

Some random pics from today. Luis wanted some pics of my Ramhorn, so here they are.. also a teaser of some work I did to the ass end

....I love the last pic. I don't care if you don't like em. I've always loved smoked tail lights.

 

[austin20110]

Couldnt tell they were smoked! lol They are that dark. Is that thing going to pass inspection lol

 

[|Chaz|]

I'm liking the smoked tails. God your car is just pure sex.

 

[Luis998]

[Luis998]

I'm liking the smoked tails.

I'd like some smoked tails on my hatch too, Matt! *COUGH* HINT!

 

[Matts96HB]

Haha, yes they are pretty dark but the lights are still very visible.
