I forgot, I should post this for completeness. Hugh Jass muffler on my 3" exhaust with a 3.5" single wall slant cut tip. Painted (yes that's right folks) black.

There was a guy running around here with and old 80's Dodge Omni GLH that was making some where over 300 whp that had cut out the center three feet of his front bumper and replaced it with a painted air to air intercooler. From a distance you would never know it. Nice sleeper.

on a side note, i was going to mazda today, and a civic rolled up to me and revved,
it was a two lane road, speed limit was 45, i was coasting at 30 or so, i was screwing with
the radio so i didn't even notice him until he revved. i looked over, still in 3rd,
i got on it very gently, just enough to spool and let off,
he had no clue it was boosted
kid went from being soooo ready to race to turning almost white
then he gave me a thumbs up, and made no attempt to get on it,
i continued to play with my radio, i cant get it to keep my radio stations

Anymore I don't even pay attention to whats around in traffic because either way its really just a waste of time. Its either dog **** slow or they've got a turbo bigger than their aznmohawk..Then you run into the little tool bags with the scions and their aftermarket turbo setups.. I've yet to see one of those that could beat my stock MSM. One kid spent almost 6800$ turbocharging his toyota corolla coupe (tc scion) and runs like 14.8@79mph. Impressive.

paint
Powerblock on Spike TV had a special on certain paints that help reflect and despenses heat. They said there are a few aftermarket companies that paint the underside of V8 intakes white to reflect heat, and the top black cause it despenses heat more evenly. It is probably BS. But you should be able to watch it on line if curious.
I don't think it will matter either way. If you want it black I would paint it. My brother wants to paint his black one silver so it can be seen. Lol

I go right down the middle. Big fat shiny intercooler, loud BOV, and Miataturbo.net stickers in the quarter windows, but a straight-cut non-polished 3" tip at the back.
Sleeper enough to make E46 M3s think they can **** with me :fm:
