^^ are those the rhino ramps? do they clear the front lip?

Not sure, I picked them up at advanced auto. They clear the lip backing up and barely touch pulling forward. I mean minor plastic to plastic rubbing doesnt bother me. BTW on at stock ride height.

Yes I have the Kooks Boss H pipe, but with the stock side pipes...my car is lowered plus I have the Roush side skirts...I think the tips would sit to low.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Swapped out the stock mid-pipe for the 3" MRT H-pipe. Surprisingly it got quieter, not louder. I'm thinking now that the smaller pipe just after the cats was to make the exhaust have more pop, since now the pop is almost gone. There's just a deep exhaust note.

I'm not sure if I like it or not. I like the tone, but my wife likes it because she says it's easier to talk in the car. ::) Fantastic hunny!

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I bought some Enkei NT03 wheels from my brother from his EVO 9 before he sold it. I had good timing because I just corded my front tires on my stock wheels. It looks strange with mismatching wheels. This is only temporary until my BFG rivals come in next week. You can tell a big difference with 20 lbs of rotating mass removed from the front, it has a smoother ride.

I would have put all four enkei wheels on but one of the tire's sidewalls disintegrated while my brother was driving at 80 mph. :eek:

NT03's fit!!!
these are one of my fav wheel designs. wish i knew this before :(
could you post wheel/tire size info?

The wheels are Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5 ET27 Touge Factory Limited Edition. I believe that they require a 72.6-70.5 centering rings for the Boss 302, I will know for sure when they come in. The tires on them are Dunlop Z1 265/35-18. They have about two fingers clearance to the long bolt that attaches the sway bar rod to the strut with -2.0 degrees of camber with just eccentric bolts. The calipers are very close to the spokes but it seems that they clear and do not rub even under hard driving. I can put my finger nail between the spoke and the caliper but not much else.

Added a little custom touch. A buddy won this for me in a raffle, so I plasti dipped it first to see if I was going to like black before I permanently mounted. But white is best!gequ9a7a.jpgyrymu9uv.jpgy5ehynyp.jpgazyqaqyp.jpgevu5usaz.jpgeqy6ugeb.jpg

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Had an MGW shifter installed at MGW. Awesome piece of equipment. Topped it off with a white knob with black stripes and the boss logo from speed dawg.

I like the white, but seems too much. If you get an opportunity go body color Kona, and white Gurney flap.
