Just got back from turboXS, now we can run the 4" downpipe without using someone else's adapter!







Switch to Cobb Stage 2 OTS map as well, deinfetely spools faster and pulls harder in every gear across the whole board. I love it. Thanks TXS for letting me be a test-fit car.

I think you have to call them up, i got a little bit of a break since a test-fit. I think you will bug out when i take you for a ride man, the powerband is so smooth now.

It's kind of like an inside joke, making more-so fun of like Honda boys who get so obsessed how everything JDM is better, like getting a JDM clock delete makes you l33t.

Anyone that's seen my older cars knows I only get JDM products, but I never understand the obsesssion at that level.

Awesome set up man. I am also looking at those wheels for my OBP. Anyone know how much they weigh?

IIRC, they should be close to 19-20lbs, Advans are always very lightweight for a cast wheel, (Advan TC2 Hollowspokes are 17.5-18lbs in this size).
Our stock wheels weigh in at 27-28lbs. A giant leap off of curb weight and rotating mass.

Edit :
I think my guess would be right, found this on an old Fizz ad :
Advan RS
Gold
18x8.5 5x100 +48
Weight: 18.4lbs



so 18x9 should be right around 19lbs.
