808_M45's 2003 M45/Y34 Intro

I have a 03 M45, blk/blk, with 65k miles. Dropped on cut Tein Springs that i bought from a member on here. Just recently got a custom 3'' exhaust. Future plans are to get the psmax coilovers (or y33 megan) when the stock shocks blow. Then I will get wheels. Car is a bit dirty in the pics.

Also here is a quick video of my exhaust. The exhaust is pretty loud around 1600-1800 rpm when driving.
Smoke is from the Seafoam.

Yea they would look better closer. The muffler was cheap so i just bought it and it sounds prettty good, so im happy for now. Dont plan on keeping the muffler though. I would like to get a jp muffler after i get coils, wheels, and a kit. It's gonna be a very slow build.

It's going to take a few years. Is there a vip club/scene over here? I remember pimplux back in the day.

^ Hawaii's vip scene is actually pretty big. I can't really link you up to them but from photos of meets they've had, the turn out is always amazing and some of the best cars have come outta there.

Thanks guys. was planning on getting coilovers and wheels but now I have problems with rust. Another rust spot appeared on the b pillar. The paint bubbled and is now the size of a nickle. :( also got a small rust spot near the sunroof. I havnt had time to take it to a shop and see how much it would cost to fix and repaint.

Bought the car back in March and changed/checked all the fluids, but never got around to seafoaming it.

It rides suprisingly good on the cut springs. Just slightly bumpier than stock.

Correct. After the cats, i ran a single 3'' pipe to the dynomax muffler. The muffler tones it down. Removing the 3 resonators and stock muffler is what makes it loud. It probably doesnt sounds as loud/good as running true duals.
