You guys are all very kind. It's noted, Greg! The only thing mechanically I have left to do really is a downpipe and then I think I am done with that aspect of it.

I am not 100 percent sure, but I want to say the piping is 3 inches. It's BIG that I do know and kinda cool because it's powdercoated gloss black. The intercooler itself is a Yonaka. I know more than 1 person has done a Bell in the P2R but I don't think it's as good of a fit. It sticks up the whole way into the grill area and it's much, much narrower. What good does all that intercooler do you that's blocked by the bumper? I don't think much.

As for the tone of the car, I do think it's changed. The blacked out grill and this intercooler really make the tone very GRRRRRRRR in the front I think. I like that. As for the car itself, it seems more gutteral if that makes anysense...deeper lunged it just really pulls hard and the whole way through to the redline, although I don't venture up that high often. The car, at least in my eye is about substance. I am really impressed with how a little wrench turning and a couple of bucks the P2R can be quite a potent machine but yet never forgets it's a luxury car too. It's docile enough to carry around clients from work without thinking about it, but it will show it's taillights to a whole lot of cars when you push it.

June is 5 years I have been driving a P2R and I'm still totally in love.

Thanks again for the compliments guys.

Mikey, thanks for the kind words man! The piping is actually 2.5" as 3" would be too much volume, not to mention it wouldn't clear the passageway on the passenger side.

I'm glad to hear that you can notice the difference. Just wait for summer! :D

Me likey. Phuzz has a pretty nice setup for the p2's huh? They should start showing some love to the 98-00's

Thanks & I would love to....but I need people who are willing to give me their car for a day or two so I can get it fabbed up. :)

Thanks!

Yes the xc got a new torque converter seal last night, rear main tonight, awd oil change (once I figure that all out), new turbo seals, and a new motor mount. I hope this is BY FAR the most involved mechanical project this car ever undergoes during my watch. It should be good once it's all back together though (fingers crossed). Tranny is back on as of tonight.

Mike that looks pretty badass man! I like the new front end. Much more aggressive than the last time I saw it :tup::tup: . You should definitely think about the anodizing though....the all black front end will look menacing :P
