Jic Full Ti Catback

Thanks to Rishie for hooking me up.

I installed the exhuast this evening

The JIC A2s Coilovers are next.

18x9(235/40/18) front 18x10(265/35/18) rear

Grey-Silver (as listed in the catalog, just a little lighter than gunmetal) w/ polished lip.

When Rishie and the rest of ARD get back from SEMA we'll take pics of the car and soundbites of the JIC Ti exaust.

Did you trim the bumper after you installed the jic. I have had it for a couple of months and when I first put it on it was melting my bumper. I put a heat sheild on so its ok now. I love this exhaust it doesnt sould like weed wacker like most of them do. GOOD CHOICE.

Btw I have the FLT-A2's. They are amazing as well.

Another coincidence I have gram light 57pros in gunmetal 18's.

Guess I picked nice stuff.

Different mounting technique... instead of using a standard clamp it uses a spring clamp.. but comes w/ both types of hardware. Correct me If I'm wrong

Yeah. but dragonZ already has them too.

The Pros (forged 2 piece) aren't too popular yet. Just came over. but the cast is definately making its way around... although, I don't know anyone else out here having them on an FD yet.

Fong,

The wheel i recommend for you is a different one. For your white beast and your needs, track track track, I would highly recommend a setup that I call the "artowar fitment". It's the CE28N in a +47 offset that's 9.5" wide.

It is Volks lightest wheel, great strength design, and has a great fitment for a symmetrical setup. Sweet. But I thought you were selling your car. I'm glad you decided to keep it.

Talk to you later.

Rishie

so Cossie, i'm assuming by full exhaust, you mean straight-thru, i.e. downpipe, midpipe, catback?

It's just a catback made of full titanium.
