I am looking into this feed ti-94 exhaust, only 30 ever made, the mid pipe and catback are full titanium, the ENTIRE system weighs 8.2 lbs! Need to think this one over, this would be exhaust #9 and I would have to sell my ARC ti. I would need to get a PFC at that point too and port the wastegate or add some kind of restriction.

I know, I feel at that point I should just go single turbo though - which is my plan for the future.
That is a lot of money, but that is retail value. I have a feeling that number is going to increase...
Some more planning. Changed the headunit, I saw the pioneer in person and the bottom part sticks out way too much and ruins the "sleekness" of the unit. I am now going to go with Kenwoods flagship model, dnx9140. You can match the illumination to amber and you can change the background. Not to mention, it sounds pretty good, I believe it only has 2v pre-outs, so I might add a line driver.
Also, decided AGAINST the bbs LM's. I have found something that no one has ever done before on a FD, at least not in the size, nor color, nor specific version of a model I want. I want to keep somethings a surprise, but it is a work wheel and not vs-xx, going to run single digit offsets on a 10" wheel and they are about $950/wheel.
Hopefully get some pictures from the bodyshop soon.

LOL what am I going to do now that you let the secret out! 
What I meant was, no one has done this particular wheel in this size on a fd. Like no one did a 19" bbs lm on a fd, same situation just not a bbs lm. Wheel is a step lip, probably around 5" in the rear, I don't think anyone has done my planed color scheme for this wheel on a fd either. It is going to look either ubelievable or like **** and I will have to powdercoat it back to the original finish.

I know! Supposedly they just started working on the car this week even though its been there for like 3 weeks.
lol, for a little more money I can get you a nice ti exhaust.
Working on it, I am picking it up August 15th. Which exhaust in the 2nd video, there are two(ganador ti/arci ti)?
I have no idea what your talking about.

Do it, I am having Alex snap some pictures next time he is in Orlando.
Ordering a set of these in the next week or two... (my lip should be a couple mm bigger given his offset/width!)
I would also like to note, give my tendency to change my mind 100 times, this will probably change. Hard to change though after $3700 worth of wheels.

This is the car that led me to the meisters, except his are 18's and have very weak offsets/widths thus the small lip.
Anyways, that should look stellar on a HoK Candy Apple red fd. I haven't seen any pictures of fd's with 19" meisters or even meisters with a very aggressive lip. The step lip, small face and huge lip make the meisters appear much smaller then they are so I am thinking 19's should be just perfect. Widebody FTW!
