Does gas milage decrease with SRI? I heard it does! ?

 

From my experience, not directly. I can still hypermile from my house to Birmingham (60 miles) and get 40-43mpg.

The way it decreases your fuel economy is by making a beautiful sound, and you drive so you can hear it more. Darn thing.

 

Well you would get more performance for sure! But I think you would see
More of a mpg loss theoretically! But then again this is all talk and theres only one way to really find out!!!

 

Ok so i finishes my sub box... safe to say it was a complete fail in my book.
I'll get pics later today
I'll keep it for now and change it when i get a redesign... or i upgrade Im thinking 4 15" removing the backseats...

Also found a new hobby... guns and survival. So there goes more money spent lol

Also i removed that damm door chime!!! Glad its gone and i wont miss it

LOL I hear ya...my new hobby is snowboarding, so there's something to dump my money in to haha

 

Nice i went one time.. holy crap was it hard! lol

 

I'm picking up an old hobby again... Biking! Haven't had a good one in years. Bought an almost new hatch mount bike rack the other day in preparation for the new bike.

 

Nice!! I picked it up for like 2 weeks as a workout cuz i needed to lose some weight. It was great and fun while it lasted... then i got lazy again haha

Really? I didn't know they were strict about guns in Cali, but they're strict about everything in Cali aren't? Guns, cars, etc, no fun lol

Haha yeah pretty much! Only 10 bullet maximum :/ Can't buy automatic... but im pretty sure thats illegal everywhere in the US not sure tho
For cars... im pretty sure we have the strictest smog testing, so i dont even wanna try and get a header and cat back exhaust

The city I live in now is very bike un-friendly, so I'll be sticking to a few light trails around here. I'm picking up a Genesis V2100 from Wal-Mart. Yes, I know, the dreaded WM. But it's a fantastic bike for the money. I'm not one of those biking snobs that spends as much as a used car on a bike.

Nice! Theres no need to buy a $1000 bike imo haha

I have mixed feelings about WM tho lol

 

Here are some more pics of the ride height now!

Front

Rear

 

Also finished my sub box!!!

 

Looks good, but you're not worried about someone breaking into your car to take all that audio equipment?

 

Not really... its kinda tough to see it from outside although not impossible if your looking!

But to be honest you could not just rip that stuff out. You definitely need some tools in order to take the stuff out. And i at least hope that the person is not willing to spend at least the 30-40 minutes of work to break into my car and take everything apart lol

but i do plan on redoing my system so actually im thinking about selling the subs and what not

 

I was just thinking if you maybe moved the amps down a few inches, you could put the cargo tray back on, providing some concealment at least Just sayin ..

 

Yeah thats a pretty good idea! I might just lay the cover on top so that it rests on top and take it off when i play the music

What suspension are you using? I may be an idiot for asking but I'm having a hard time finding the page lol.

Height looks perfect IMO.

Thanks! I think its perfect with all the weight in the back! But im thinking about taking all my stuff out...

^ Nvm, found it. I'm an idiot

lol

I believe he's using Megan Racing springs.

Anybody wanna buy my subs?... i'll give a really great deal

depends on the vendor I think. Those springs in the link are not sold by Amazon.com, but by another vendor using Amazon to sell their products.

you may want to try searching on a more region specific version of Amazon, like amazon.co.uk or something.

 

yea i tried that link but they dont deliver here to PR

 

look for your region/country here.

Welcome to Amazon.com International Sites

 

ok no updates in a while except for today!

Got the exhaust done, yup ran straight pipe lol

I know most of you dont like it, but i just had to do it for myself. Its loud as fawk!!! Kinda scary loud haha. I might have to stick a muffler on there but i'll see how it goes. I haz a video but i wanna edit it together with a before and after clip, or i can just throw up the after clip now

At low rpm kinda sounds like a subaru and i love it! I love loud noises but i think this might be pushing it a little too far haha

anyways heres the pic. He put in a 2 1/4 in. pipe there and welded it to the hangers. it was really cheap which is why i took the risk. If i get pulled over ill fix it. I tend to go slower now cuz of the noise... possible good thing? haha Still cant hear it over my music tho!

Vote whether you just want a raw video of the after, or an edited one of a before and after combined!

 

Ah, to be Young and Foolish again.....

I really cannot fault you for it. Only thing was, MY "straight-piped" auto was a 383 Roadrunner, which I GUARANTEE was Louder.

It sounded Awesome.

Yeah, The Man gave me a hassle about it. Hopefully, the one that pulls you over will be as understanding as the one that got me.

 

lol yeah very much so!

I wouldnt bet against it! Im sure it sounded better than awesome!!! Now if only i had a car like that

Hopefully i dont get pulled over, but we will see

 

ok too lazy heres the clips

before

after!

i really need to fix that ugly dent

 

Ma man! Sounds dope!

 

i like it! i just hope the cops do too! lol

 

Have access to a decibal-meter? I'm curious what readings you get in the cabin ("sitting" and driving, including a few high-rpm pulls), and 10' and 25' directly-behind the car, as well as from the side-back at 10' & 25' from the car. Or even a "driveby", (if you've got a helper).

Merely an exercise in curiousity, not actually a formal request.

 

I'd be curious to see those numbers as well! But **** that thing sounds good lol, but I think I'd get pulled over if mine was that loud...I think I'll stick with a muffler when I do mine haha

 

lots of cars here have it just unplugged no need to run the pipe xD and it sounds exactly the same

 

because you are a noob!

 

No you are going back to stock!!!

 

little update, who can guess what it is
