That's what I thought... No restrictions, and free flow... Should not be any back pressure.

If that was the case everyone running open downpipes would have blown turbos

Thats what I was thinking too, guess I'm gonna have to call some service managers at other dealerships and see if they'll maintain my warranty. Want to make sure I'm gonna be covered before I start doing any cutting.

In fact... less backpressure to the turbo makes the car run better and will last longer as there will be less stress on the exhaust turbine.

You can literally run 3inch piping from the turbo out and have no issues at all. The turbo provides the necessary backpressure and that's about it. That's why you can dump straight out of the hood.

Debadged. Thinking about painting the giant flying H emblems as well, but not too keen on pulling the front bumper off already. Heh.

Installed some 6EE shift linkage bushings today... yeeeeesh! That was interesting. I was test fitting them for Mark... apparently the internal diameter of the larger of the two linkages is a bit smaller than the current VT linkage bushings that he has. I had to dremel out the inside of the linkage end a bit to get it to fit. Heh.

However... holy crap! This gearbox is pretty much perfect now! Each gear is perfect. It would be nigh impossible to miss a shift with this setup.

Their plan is to make some that don't require modifying the factory parts, right? Hopefully.

Hahahaha yes, absolutely. I did what I did because:

1. I could.

2. I like to practice my skills with different tools and modification techniques whenever I can.


Rest assured, Mark is already on it. I would have measured it all out for him but I don't have a vernier caliper to measure internal diameters accurately with.

LOL it would be pretty interesting and entertaining if they don't fix it and send you the kit with a dremel tool with a good luck sticker on it

I'm not sure I like your idea of "entertaining".


Today I'm tinting the tails. All done with the tint and will be applying clear in about 45 minutes. Once the clear is on and cured I'll do a light wet sand, compound, then polish. I'll follow that up with a paint sealant and a coat of wax. Will post pics when done.

I think they turned out pretty dope! Yes, I know the car is dirty... went to a pizza joint with a dirt parking lot after a heavy rain this past Sunday.

Judging by the floor mat pics, the Auto/DCT footwell is the same as the MT footwell. I haven't pulled the trigger on them for this very reason. Looks like I have no excuse now!

Can you post a picture with the lights turned on? Im planning on having mine tinted next week, but really want to see how those LED's look with a tint!

I am going to do so mine next weekend also... Except I'm going to keep the reverse lights white and tint the reflectors on the bottom

I wanted to get some last night but I was tired as **** from detailing (it's what I do for a living). I'll try to get some tonight.

I didn't even think about doing the reflectors... hmmm....

I will be wrapping my rear reflectors gloss black to match the faux vent, I think it'll give the rear end a much more aggressive look.

Installed the shifter base bushings for the VT from 6th Element Engineering - they fit perfectly! Coupled with their shift linkage bushings (not yet ready for the ES) this gearbox is tight as can be!

These will be my first mods for sure. Not that there is anything wrong with the stock shifter.
