ETS V2 Quad 2.5" Tip
Thanks to Michael and everyone else from ETS for getting this done on my request. These are best pictures I could get with the crappy point and shoot I have. Hope to have better pictures in the future. It really looks better in person.
I have titled the thread as ETS quad, but I'm gonna use the opportunity to talk about the other installs I did this weekend.
I realize some will like this and some will not, but this is what I wanted and it meets my expectations. I went with a resonated midpipe and a 300 cell Metal core HFC. All the raspiness is gone and only a deep throaty sound now exists. I absolutely am loving the setup. I also swapped my entire IC and Intake with the ETS pieces.
The radiator swap was also done with mishimoto radiator and hoses (not supplied by ETS). The tabs on the mishimoto radiator absolutely sucked, don't know if its the norm. Attaching the AC condensor AND fan shroud to the radiator were horrible experiences.
to mishimoto. I had to cut the fan shroud tabs to fir them correctly even after playing around with the tabs.
The ETS parts fit like a glove. The only semi-hard part was putting the turbo inlet pipe and sliding a coupler on the Stock MAF housing. All other pipes were easy, especially the LICP which only needed one screw instead of the 3 that the stock setup uses.

Wow, i'm a big ETS fan, but not feeling that at all. I have trouble swallowing the fact that we have dual pipes on a 4 cyl as it is, but 4 tail pipes? They look really small too, and don't fit in that area very well.
Either way,
for the custom build from ETS, and if you like it.

^^ I knew I was gonna invoke your wrath....
It looks very stock though. Does not look like an aftermarket exhaust at all, which is good for those of us registered and driving in VA.
But to the rest of you, I guess I look like the guy on the right.
