I don't want the cabin noise any louder than it is, it is liveable now but I want to be able to hold a conversation without yelling at my passenger. Thanks in advance for the info! And keep up the good work!

I'm sorry I just now saw this, I haven't looked at this thread in a while since I haven't been modding the car much. To answer your question: yes, the LTH will increase your cabin noise by a fair amount. I'm non resonated, so I don't know what you're running, but with mine being a daily driver it was a tad too loud for me, and I like it loud! It was kinda hard to hold a conversation when I was at 2300-2500 rpm, and forget about using the bluetooth on my cd player for a phone conversation. I installed the GTmat which helped a fair amount and brought it down to a more livable level. I will be ordering more from them in the near future.
Finally, if you're ever in the Merritt Island/Cocoa Beach area, you're more than welcome to come check it out in person!

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Your's is also looking pretty smexy! I can't decide what I want to do next. I might have a line on some new wheels that I could turn over for a profit, or should I save some money and go with some Swift springs, or should I go for a front lip? Decisions, decisions...

love it bro!

Z-Girl 12 · 11-19-2012, 01:29 PM

Thanks Huck! I think I'll leave the setup as is...talking on my bluetooth thru nav is almost impossible too.

Huck · 11-21-2012, 03:04 PM

I don't know how the stock nav is closet up, I've never used one, but my head unit has an external mic that's sitting right underneath my rear view mirror. When I had just the exhaust it wasn't a problem at all. I would say that my headers just about doubled the volume inside the cabin.

Well I finally got to buy my Swifts and install them. The install wasn't too bad, compressing the Swifts was a PITA but other than that it's pretty straight forward. While I was wrenching on the strut nuts in the engine bay my swivel bit and socket came off and fell down in the depths of the motor somewhere. I searched for like 20 minutes to no avail, that shyte is gone.

Anyway, the car handles like a champ now and feels a lot smoother over all. Here's a few pics of the drop after a few days, I might have another 1/4" before the springs completely settle. We'll see...

Now I'm trying to decide what to do about wheels, do I buy tires and mount the ones that I have? Or do I continue trying to sell the ones I have so that I can afford the ones that I'm in love with, the Avant Garde M368's? Decisions decisions...

Looks great man! Which wheels do you have now?

Huck · 03-28-2013, 12:00 PM

Thanks Blades, I've got 20" 5AD S5:F wheels right now. I like them but I don't LOVE them.

If the cost difference isn't much, I'd go with the ones you actually like.

ALL YOUR VID'S COME UP AS "PRIVATE"

Well the problem is I could spend some money on tires and mount the ones I have, then sell my stock wheels and make most of the money back, or I could spend more money than I should and buy the wheels and tires that I really want. The wheels aren't that expensive, around $1500 for 20's. But a wheel and tire package will be somewhere around $2700ish. I should be responsible and not spend that much, but...

They're sexy as hell.

Thanks man, I did a lot of reading about Eibachs and Teins and a few others, and Swifts were the only ones that I haven't read a single bad thing about. If I get something I like to save up and get the best one, that's why I went with Fast Intentions, and I got the LTH combo instead of test pipes, because I wanted the least restrictive flow possible. So far I'm in love with the Swifts

b1adesofcha0s · 03-28-2013, 06:06 PM

If you can make up most of the difference, then just go for the ones you like.

Jasonle · 03-28-2013, 08:02 PM
