do you need an extension in the exhaust for the TOG's.. or do they bolt right in?

 

You have to cut the pipes just in front of the cats and get them welded up from there. From what I understand the ASM's make you move the cats back a little, which as I was told by FunGuy makes them un-eligible for a CARB sticker and a lot more trouble to get in there.

 

ok, i'll look into it... the tri-ys i want are a direct bolt-in i believe.. i gotta wait for them to email me back.

 

I wouldn't go with a direct bolt in beause they would be shorties. You won't gain much with shorties, especially being blown.

 

Sorry I'm a little late. FYI, with most new in car dvd players inlcuding the IVA D-900, you can't play any dvd's while the engine is running, obviously for safety reasons. In fact, just to play a dvd there is initiation sequence using ignition and throttle...forget exactly what takes place. I think they make a bypass type product that allows you to play dvd's while the engine is running, but I don't think there is bypass product for the Alpine as well as a few other players.

 

The dvd player can be played at anytime, you just have to know how to wire it. IT is supposed to be legally wired to the ebrake, so the ebrake has to be set to play the dvd part. I have checked into this already as I wanted the dvd player. I still want one but I think I would choose a blower now, cheap cd player now and save for the dvd later if you still want it after the sound of the radix.

 

Onyx: Tell you what, we will get you a good deal on a decent CD player when you are here for the Radix?? Do you have any ideas on what you want? I have a few connections on Pioneer and Alpine. Let me know!

 

yea go with the RADIX but dont forget about that pesky 4L60E

 

tokez: oh yeah that tranny is ALWAYS on my mind....

brian: ya, i am totally alpine... its all ive ever had, and ive never had a problem with it and i love the styling.
