Thanks for this thread. I found myself in the 'it's too loud club' after installing headers. This jones muffler brought the sound back down to a good spot. Just a hair under what it was with the corsa extreme and stock headers.
The jones inlets and outlets slid over my existing 3" pipes...
I just bought the exact same two tires last week. Same size too. Same sticker shock.
My previous rear tires only lasted 7k miles so I'm going to get the alignment checked again. Did it last year when installing tires, but I'm not sure the shop did a good job.
I have the same size wheels. I went with the Pilot Super Sport. 285/35/19 front and 305/39/19 rear. If I buy tires again, I will go with 275 up front so the sidewall stretch is the same. With the current set the rear seems to stretch over more than the front.

I couldn't find a ton of info about how people plugged the hole. I did find that people suggested tugging at the tube to pull it out since the nut holding it on was impossible to reach. They were right. It will evenutally come off.
I couldn't get my hand behind the engine to get the plug...
What is wrong with these? They show to be compatible? The old sensors were on the old wheels/tires. It was easier and cheaper to just buy new ones instead of removing them from the older tires.
These sensors seemed to work for a month before having the fault.
Maybe someone can help. I put new wheels, tires, and sensors on a month ago. Everything seemed fine and they synced up. A few days ago I got this message on the dash when starting the car. None of the tire pressures were showing up on the dash either.
So I bought the relearn tool. I am...
Blaque Diamond F25 Wheels. 19x10 35mm offset/ 19x11 50mm offset
285/35 Pilot Super Sport Front
305/35 Pilot Super Sport Rear.
With this combo the rear sidewalls are flexed a little more than the front. I think next time I will do 275 tires on the front. Otherwise everything sits perfect...
So I recently bought some used PP Brembos off of ebay to upgrade my non pp GT. They came in and I spent a good number of hours cleaning them up, sanding them, and refinishing them red with a new white decal. They ended up looking pretty descent.
Upon installing them I used some nice Motul...
I was curious why engineers were adding these appendages to the intakes now. They seem to be for more than just noise reduction and actually have a performance goal. Found this bit of information...
I'm not too concerned about the bumper. I bought the car with it needing little work. I had to replace the front bumper with some other parts like wheel wells, etc.. The rear bumper was popped out. I ended up repairing all the clips with some JBweld intended for bumpers. It worked pretty...
