Default SVE Drifts, Steeda CAI - Tune, Flowmaster HushPower Axle Backs - Installed

UPS guy cracked his head 3 times on his sliding back door unloading my new wheels/tires, Steeda CAI with BBR 91oct Tune, SCT Tuner, and HushPower Axlebacks. Guy started out pretty chipper but then every time the dude came out the back of his truck with one of my boxes his door had slid down a few inches and WHACK!!!

Anyway, got the stuff unloaded, wheels and tires on (getting the rotational direction wrong and having to re-mount everything sucks and when your buddy has to point it out to you it sucks even worse) - will post up some better/cleaner pics tomorrow.

Spent tonight installing the Steeda CAI and Tune - **** thing rips like a ****** now. Mine is a manual with 3.31's and is all stock otherwise. Install was easy and pleased with the results - very noticeable difference in acceleration throttle response - new tires hated it ***=============

Will get the HushPowers on ASAP and see how those and a nice clean and wax bring it all together. Oh yea, the wheel gap is horrendous with the 35 series tires - i knew it would be there but wow, Kim Kardashian's giant butt could get lost up in there. I have already asked the LMR group about some springs to close that gap and getting those on order.

If anyone has a similar set up or tune i'd be interested to hear your opinions.

Ouch poor ups guy.

I like the wheels, they look good. Shoulda put some mud tires on your 4x4 though! Just messing with you! The wheels do go great with the stripes.

these are 275-35-19 all the way around Nitto 555 on SVE Drift wheels. I was really wanting RTR's but they are hard to track down. I am completely happy with the look of these.
