The fourth pic actuall shows you the entire exhaust. I left the front unit on and started the 2 1/4" piping right behind it. Then i put a magnaflow followed by the 3" exhaust pipe. the front unit polishes up nice.

sweet ride boxer. now the next step would be some stickers...hehehe...kidding.
if you want to try the ebc brakes next. it will improve your stopping power on the 20's.
oh also there will be a dub show in LA. let me know if you are interested in getting your car in for the show.

If you don't mind me askin', how much did all that run ya? Also, do you have any pictures from futher away? I'm eventually going to do an exhaust and right now I'm just looking for a tip cuz I hate the way the tailpipe looks. What brand tip is that also?

I think it all cost about $160. the tip on it is a no name brand but came from the magnaflow rep. you want pics of the E from far away or just the exhaust? im do for an oil change so when i put it up on the hoist, ill snap some pics of the entire exhaust.

Just far away so I can see how the tip looks. If it sticks out as much as it does stock. Side views, rear view. It's all good.

Hey Boxer, how do you like those Hankook Ventus K104's so far. I think I'll go with those for summer tires because they are much cheaper than other brands of high performance tires. What size tires did you go with? Does the rim protector really stick out enough to save you from curb rashes on the rims? Thanks in advance. Your E looks hot man.

thanks hardguy (wow that sounded wierd... why the name?)

yeah the tires are nice. i was driving in the pouring rain yesterday while on the freeway going about 65-70 mph and did not experience the hydro effect. I thought that was cool. Even though they are inexpensive tires i think they are great quality and good looking. as far as the lip protector, they do stick out enough to protect i think, but just depends on how hard you hit the curb. i havent hit any yet. im tying to be carefull. expecially owning a lifted silverado with oversized tires that i did not mind rubbing or running over stuff.

Its a grille made by precision grilles a company in santa fe springs CA. its like the one i have on the first pic of this post. its not a modified F150 grille, its a three piece grille that is specific for the element.

you have to cut out the top oem screen with the precious "H" on it and replace it with this one. a little more involved than others. this one attaches with hardware not zip ties.

I'm getting a lot of compliments about it on the street from other element owners. I never realized how many elements are out here in our area.

there is a lot out here....most just use for reguler drive and never realy thought about tuning it. most people that get it for the cargo space in a small suv size. and real fun to drive. but the grill are so very cool on the element.
