Looks good man. And you have the front plate too I'm looking into. Did yours come with that too? I'm looking for a license plate that doesn't cover the intercooler slot for whenever I get my intercooler. The license plate I have now currently hangs over the top of the intercooler slot.

I took it for a drive yesterday... and a deer kamakazed into it. :(

It's now at the bodyshop. Sigh.

Parked it outside so we could take down the shop lift, sold it, gone to a new owner:(

Took the car out and made a run up into 5th gear, EFR turbo, made me feel better:)

Definitely aggressive and slightly louder than I would prefer but the Helmholtz resonator built in does indeed eliminate drone. There is very little noise at highway speeds. Wide open is another story though, it sounds quite evil. The catback comes with two different tips. A large 4 1/4" single and dual 3". Typical of CP-e, the fit and finish are superb

Dropped my car off at the dealership to have the clicking clutch looked at once again. And just received a call from the tech saying it's the plastic part in the car, and there's nothing they can do about it. They've already replaced it once and it came back so they said it would be pointless to do again.

So now I have to live with a damn clicking noise every time I push the clutch in. Awesome. The only damn thing I don't like about the car and it can't be fixed. Not the news I was hoping for today.

Did you try to fix it yourself? DIY, backyard mechanics, etc, do not have to go by the book, likely an easy fix in a tough to get to place but most everything can be fixed one way or another and often with a really simple method.

I have only had a dealer fix one or two things ever on my cars as I would rather spend the time learning about it and knowing it was done right than wasting my time with them.

Just something to consider:)

They said it's the plastic bushing that over time starts making the the clicking noise. I'm not that good with cars like that to go looking for the problem, only to make it worse possibly.

It's just annoying and I've heard most people say they don't have the problem so I just would like to know why mine is one that does?

Dealer finally looked at my car and gave me an estimate today for cost/time to repair...

$4500 and 2.5 weeks.... ouch. Luckily insurance is covering most of it.

2.5 weeks sucks though, and from the sounds of reviews on the internet, if this place quotes 2.5 weeks, I might be waiting months. :|

Unfortunately the poor guy was left on the side of the road to suffer, hopefully someone came by to put him out of his misery.

Changed the oil and installed a Fumoto quick valve for future oil changes. Check my build thread for pictures.
