And thats unfortunate, why not just get normal twin?


not a fan of normal tips, i reckon downpipes look more aggressive/tough imo. nothing wrong with normal ones though :)


Yes true, I also like downpipes but I just went for the nice simple look

Also just a quick question, I want to get a K&N Filter, but should I get a pod? Is it legal? Roadworthy? Can cops defect me for it?
Or should I get the panel filter? Does it still sound good? Better performance than the pod?

The panel filter would be the best way to go, cheaper doesn't look stupid like a pod either and cops won't hassle you over a panel filter

Great first car, like the plans, but protip: try and avoid doing the first car mods, I.e. Pod filter, nightshade, painting things with export paint, you seem to have a fair idea of what your doing and it's pretty good anyway :)

Welcome to the club mate, making a great start to your mods. I still remember when I first bought my ED and I did some really tacky mods just for the sake of doing 'a mod'. (God what was I thinking :blackeye: ). Only thing I would do exterior wise if it was my car, like everyone is suggesting and that's the AU3XR Clear Side Indicators, and a set of these:

Instead of a K&N filter, go a Lukey...cheaper and they don't need oiling...
