I havent put on the Nismo power brace on yet and goddamn!!! I took it out with the header on and it's so easy to bust out the rear using flick and throttle! CRAP i almost **** myself after the flick!!!:D I went out sideways faster than earlier and almost hit the median on the return flick. Good thing for McAdam roads!!!

not a super alot more, but then again, im not as drunk as U.

HAR

really, it was noticable. and i measured them against a hotshot header and came up with more ID than those. Just crappier outside (i.e. no ceramic coating). I have to get my CAI extension to get any cool air to the engine though. I had to remove the "Silvia" center piece to air it out. I wish someone had the louvered center piece cheap...

I had that same problem when I went to drift the first time with my CA. I looked like an *** for a while cuz I couldn't control the new power band.:(

Yeah, totally. I'd like to get it dynoed soon with an exhaust. It has alot more punch in the lower powerband and stuff.Its a little different.

hey Zero, i meant understeer as in i could finally feel the understeer that everyone says s13's have in abundance. Its why i got the power brace in the first place.
