I am not happy with the gold trim Volk caps. The ones I asked for were the carbon fiber caps with the silver trim. Nonetheless, I ordered a set of black Volk lug nuts and grey flat caps.

What do you have under there for exhaust?

Your state has no requirement for a front plate?

partyman66 · 08-23-2004, 05:48 PM

Oh yeah...that tint is dark as hell too.

What % is it?

dieu · 08-23-2004, 05:52 PM

The tint is twenty-two percent. The exhaust is Stillen's Cat-Back. Michigan does not have a front plate law thankfully...

Really nice G man!

How is the exahust sound with the stillen? Beefier or Ricier?

partyman66 · 08-23-2004, 06:16 PM

I was just going to ask the same thing.

dieu · 08-23-2004, 06:18 PM

Beefier. No Uncle Ben's rice featured here. I just received Stillen's race pipes. I will have them installed tomorrow. Man, I hope the neighbors are not sleeping...

Does the race pipes delete the catalytic converters?

Is it good if its gone or bad?

dieu · 08-23-2004, 06:56 PM

Well, that depends what the laws are in your state. It is good if your goal is added performance, bad because you may be breaking the law if you use these on the open road.

Removing the OEM catalytic converter will cause your vehicle to fail this test.

Also, it could be argued that Infiniti might, if this were detected, void the powertrain warranty - that part is debatable.

I like it all dieu.

Chuck's right about the emissions though, so if you have an emissions test you are going to be in a pickle.

Yes. this can create a problem. However, Michigan does not require emission testing. Pretty much, I am in the clear.
