Are there any options to make the installation easier? Baseball bat, hand cuffs, etc.?

Um, I don't think my tuner would want to be associated with these.

They're much better as a DIY project - particularly the Foster's Cold Beer Induction System. Finding the right parts requires a lot of trial and error and since those are already large cans - I'm lucky I could find my car following installation.

The only thing you need now to make the car really fast is a whole bunch of stickers. A "TRD" or "Powered by Honda" sticker on the back hatch glass would add at least 15RWHP!

Absolutly hallarious. Your noise reduction mod needs to include a little sign that says "I'm not being kidnapped". Thanks for giving me the best laugh this week.

Is that a "Portable" Noise Reduction System?

Could come in handy in the kitchen, bedroom, garage, mall, etc.

I just got the wife a new Mop for her Birthday, might have to get her a roll anyway.

POLL:

Which exhaust system do you like:

Maxwell House _____

Folgers _____

While I know that some like the mellow, roasted sound of the Maxwell House, I know that the cup-full of sound from the Folgers is much more to my liking. The red also goes much better with my Millinium Yellow coupe, plus (and here's the good part!), they're readily available at all Wally World High Performance Centers!
