BmacIL's Guard GT Build

I've had my car for just a bit over 7 months (picked up 3/28/15) and have done a few mods, most to replicate most of the GT PP feel and composure for a lot less while still having a great DD. I've autocrossed the car a few times and the handling balance is now very good, just need more grip for more fun and speed!

Woo! X-pipe resonator delete installed today. So far I really like it. Perfectly civilized but a nice sound

 

Did sound tube delete on Friday. Very good mod for very cheap! In addition to the cleaner noise in the cabin (and just a tad less volume), throttle response is notably better. So far I've just taken the front section off, but will probably remove the rest soon. I just used these to cap it off at both ends: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KKVPR2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

FYI I got these to cap both ends. Worked like a charm:

and this for plugging the firewall eventually:

I haven't decided yet! To be honest, it's been really great the last few days with just my X-pipe. I really want to hear it being driven to know how loud it is/how good it sounds from the outside. From the inside, I love it. The sound tube delete really woke up the throttle response and rev-matched downshifts are great.

Based on my experience with cone filter, open CAIs, it will! It's on my wish list as well.

Added Anarchy Motive heavy shift knob recently, and finished the front-end bracing with the lower K-brace over the weekend. Shift knob is HEAVY! 588 grams vs. 141 grams. It really makes shifting smooth, and now I don't really want to do anything with the shifter.

Car has 19,600 miles on it now.

 

Thanks!

I have another one that I'll post up tonight. It's a driving video so you get a lot better idea on the sound. It's still more raspy than I want up top, but good nonetheless . I am hoping to get someone to drive my car past me so I can hear what it really sounds like outside.

 

New video I took a few days ago of my exhaust. I like the sound mostly but it's raspier than I want. Ideally I want a small increase in volume with similar tone but less rasp.

Indeed. I think I've decided on FRPP Touring axle backs to pair with the X-pipe, essentially giving me the full FRPP cat back. Someone else did it too....I sure like the sound:
