Do you have a base/non-sport pkg? Cus the sport pkg tires are 40F/35R

I've scraped already on stock height but I don't even know when it happened. Either way you just need to be more careful, especially if you're lowered. Even stock height, I think you just need to avoid speed bumps and inclines all together. Normal roads and driveways shouldn't be an issue though even if you're lowered slightly.

my home is surrounded with speedbumps.

dem government looooves placing them EVERYWHERE.

when I go to tom for stuff for my car. when I am near his house I LITTERALLY pass 5 high and steep speedbumps in a mile radius.

its insane.

Speed bumps should be fine, even if it is lowered. You just need to take the speed bump normal and not fast. I put over 200 miles on the prototype car in 2009 and drove it in all kinds of places. I never scraped once!

And here I thought all this time, it was just because Tony was awesome..

Newbie here... Mode I can do easily w/ HP gain is a new exhaust.

I really like the sound of FI and Ark , but leaning toward FI because of the price, I will keep my stock Intake ,the only concern I have is clearance but Tony says it shouldn't be a problem.

My question is...
Should I go for Non-resonated or 12" or 18" Resonator? I don't like loud exhaust though.

Thanks for the Help guys

The bigger the resonator, the quieter the exhaust. Also, Tony has Carbon Fiber or Stainless Steel cans, the latter being the quieter. So there are several possible combinations you could go with. The quietest being the 18" res with SS cans. But if you wanted switch it up, you could do 18" resonators and CF cans or 12" resonator and SS cans... Those would probably give you the good medium you're looking for as far as sound/looks. All of the CBE's will give you the same performance upgrade.

Quite honestly, I thought the 12" resonated FI exhaust would be louder than it actually is. Granted, I also have high flow cats which adds significant volume but it is very livable and pretty quiet when cruising.

You need to get test pipes or the LTH's, my friend. I have the FI RTP's, and honestly, it is quite embarrassing turning my car on in the morning...it is so loud and it shakes my entire house! I love it, but my neighbors......ehhh that's another story

Maybe what you need are some LTH's...

Bierbeek which is near leuven.

la hulpe is most likely french belgium. I have driven around that region before and it seems much beter on the speed bumps. if I take the highway and I go from french part to dutch. its like "smooth roads" to "HOLY **** POTHOLES EVERYWHERE"
