If I parked on the street, I'd definitely have something like a Nest camera set up for 24/7 video recording to get at least make/model/color description and time it happened. Idea for anyone how can do that but hasn't yet, it's worth it for peace of mind even if you don't need it, JMO

I feel your pain. Mine's in the body shop right now as well. Idiot in an Accord thought he could run between me and the median on local highway. He bumped into my driver side, scraped the paint, and slightly dented the rear door and fender as he went by. He then over-corrected and lost control, hitting the barrier wall and probably totaling his car. Luckily no one was hurt, and I also was able to avoid getting tangled up in it further. I almost thought my damage would polish out, but the estimate was for $3k!

So I didn't want to spend the money on an LED upgrade just yet, not sure on what brand I want. I just did a halogen bulb upgrade, they are definitely brighter than factory. I also installed a JLT intake and Flowmaster flowfx lightning exit catback.

Which bulb #s did you use? I'd image your factory halogen bulbs are the same as in any halogen 2015 - 2020...

And that exhaust! Is there a resonator forward of the Flowmaster single-in/dual-out? Is it LOUD?

I'm running a one-off system built at Gene's Muffler in Downey, CA. It's 3" tubing from the factory Y-collector, then a 3" Dynomax round-case, perforatec-core muffler serving as a resonator, then a honkin' huge Flowmaster Series 70 3" in/out single mated to the OE, factory mandrel-bent tail section. It works very well.



The rearmost weld looks funky cause the welder ran out of gas. I went back the following week to get it right. No leaks!

Nice Adrenalin in the garage too!

No, there is no resenator anymore. I am thinking of upgrading the Y pipe when I pull the trigger on a tune. The bulbs were Phillips crystalvision ultra that I found on Amazon. Hi, low, and fogs.

Standard application wattages and all?

Sure looks good in your illuminated road view photo.

Thanks again.

Yes, I think the fogs may be a little higher. I used H11, 9005, and 9145s.

Thanks, it has 168,XXX miles and still runs and looks great. I've had it lowered and lifted, son will be driving it soon and wants it lowered again. That will be changing along with another set of wheels.

Gene's built my exhaust on my last truck, really great shop. I used to live about 5 minutes from there. Small world.
