How do I make the pics for all to see ?

Yes the back end is already starting to sag , with the undercoating, 2 Alpine 500 watt amps and a Alpine 12'' sub in a 1 cu. box in the back more about that stuff to come later.

I haven't even put a cooler or two duffel bags in the back for a road trip. So yes I will be using them to keep the car level no matter what the load. I have used them in 4 other vehicles and loved the control of the suspension.

I will be using a lift for the install just to get some good pics.

They are a bear to get into our tiny springs. I installed a set on Crashy to keep her tail up when I fill her dump bed with topsoil. I think every knuckle was bleeding by the time I finished.

To start no pics yet. just put everything on yesterday. At work posting now.

1, K&N Typoon air cleaner went on.

Very easy took about 1/2hr. sounds great pulling from 1500rpm to 4000rpm roaring, thats as high as I have taken the SE so far. It lowered the RPM doing 70mph by 300 to 400rpms, have to check notes.

2, TRD rear bar took about 20min. only got to test a little. Did hit a few exit and entrance ramps it does sit much flatter in the corners, picked up 15 mph in the first try, need more testing

3, coil rite air bags went in 1/2 hr, no bloody knuckles

, rides great, work great plenty of lift left for full loads. SE sitting level again.

4, Exhaust did not fit.

The tail pipe exited almost 3 in. to the right, center of tip and center of AD exhaust cut out.

I guess I'll just have to wait for an exhaust for the SE

Curious, which exhaust is that? It looks like the Tanabe from the side, but I can't tell.

I bought the TRD exhaust and other than the tip being small and a little low, it is perfectly centered in the OEM cutout. It also has a nice burble at idle and mature note when accelerating. Very little increase in cabin noise at highway speeds was a nice surprize.

No the round part of the exhaust ( canister) was already right next to the heat shield, which is right next to the under body of the car. So there was no way to alter it and push it over. No pics. was a lil po (disapointed) at the time. I wish I would have taken a pic of the 2 exhausts next to each other, after thought, then you would have seen why it wouldn't fit. The meg. exhaust exits straight back from the hangers and the stock SE exits to the left of the hangers.. I really thought all I would have to do was alter it by bringing it up, but that wasn't the case.

Was the TRD tip smaller then the stock SE tip ? Did you alter to lift it up ?

muffin_top · 08-13-2012, 09:02 PM

No, I left it where it is. Honestly I think the TRD tip is actually smaller than the stock SE. Fail.

I really want to try the Tanabe to see where it exits.

Got a price quote on the Fujitsubo, $1400 seems somewhat dear..

Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on this system, or the place that sells it?
