CL21376 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Nice write-up. I'm itching for more mods, and you guys aren't helping! Sound - OMG LOL!!!!!! If that sounded like something a little girl would say then you are correct because I'm giddy as a school girl. It is deep and throaty with very little drone. The sound should change a bit over the next few days but already it's a 1000% improvement over the stock silence Did you download the tune to AccessPort Racer first?

acumenhokie Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Ok I couldn't wait. Since I was able to upload the Infamous map I went out and got the data logs for my first revision. Excuse the camera work I was by myself. In the car starting one I have the door open. Will get more vids tomorrow. Edited February 25, 2012 by acumenhokie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Looks great. The AVO is a wow. In one of the picts, noticed a bracket had to be removed. I had needed to remove the brackets as well. Thanks for taking the pic of the DP at the mouth. Your pic shows a flare from the CAT to the flange. This is a huge improvement over OEM and the 3" restriction with CNT/Invidia.

I'm not sure I would go that far. It's not a true bellmouth like the BMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm not sure I would go that far. It's not a true bellmouth like the BMC. True, being I commissioned BMC #1, that makes me Bellmouth fan-boy. :lol: But the AVO is a much better design than the Invidia/CNT that terminates the 3" pipe into the flange, as the OEM does with 2.5". Big improvement is from the picture that shows the flaring out to the flange. AVO is the first manufacture to improve the design over a straight pipe terminations like Invidia. The other picture looking into the DP appears like a smooth transition from the flange to the CAT. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=113075&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1330111264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpose of these brackets? Decoration more or less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 If it tied anything together, would have modified/manufactured a bracket. Looked at the pics I have and they didn't really help. If interested, I'll take a pic of the brackets. They are not impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBopper Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 IIRC ... The bracket is used to help support the exhaust/turbo from the engine. Without it the exhaust hangs off the turbo. I have mine apart down in the garage ... I'll go take another look to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I thought it supported a heat shield. Either way the bracket in my car hadn't been attached to anything for about 20k and I never had any issues (waz removed it back when he owned the car).

acumenhokie Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 ATE Brake Fluid installed and my summer setup is on. It was kind of dark after we finished. Will post more pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSW Nurburgring in matte gunmetal? What size & offset did you go with? Coincidentally I called Discount Tire Direct today to check the availability of those wheels in 19x8 +45.

acumenhokie Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Coincidentally I called Discount Tire Direct today to check the availability of those wheels in 19x8 +45. That's exactly what I bought and where I bought them from. I'm running a 15mm spacer on the front and 25mm on the back with pulled and rolled fenders and have some minor rubbing issues. It's nothing important just the plastic fender liner but I need to decide if I want to let it rub out, cut out a couple of small pieces of liner or adjust my coils to raise the car just a bit.

Pic is upside down for me, but I get it and love it. I flip my phone really really fast to see it right side up for .18 seconds. I looked at these too, but decided on a more conservative look. Nice choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acumenhokie Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Rim is 19x8 +45 (TSW Nurburgring) Tire is 245/40/19 (Hankook Ventus V12) Running 15mm spacer on the front and 25mm spacer on the rear (H&R) Still having some rubbing issues in the back. Going to be taking it back tomorrow to adjust the ride height on the coil. If I still rub I may have to move to a 15mm spacer in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
