I freaking despise hood spacers. It's like "hey, look at how I completely fuck up the flow of my body lines".

Fuck it, I'd rather overheat.

Hood spacers look like shit, and have been proven to not increase performance.

By the way the red kouki you posted doesnt even have hood spacers.

I personally like hood spacers. Don't care about if they work or not I just like the look. Had my pbm ones for over two years.

Guys, I literally JUST posted a vid with this exact same setup like 2 pages ago lol.

PBM cobra downpipe, isis resonated test pipe to 4 inch blasters WITH apexi ecv.

The ECV quiets it down a TON...its the only way not to set off car alarms on my street.

With the valve closed it honestly just like....hisses.

Here's the vid again, you can hear the difference...but in person its more noticable, the phone doesnt quite pick up the tone properly, and the vid was taken in a really echo-y spot.

I thought the cobra deleted the cat too. I guess that leaves room for something like what you have. It sounds like the old straight six ford trucks when the valve is closed! lol

I just put mine in today with the ECV. Shit is loud on idle but I think this is quieter than my old Buddy Club II. That shit got a small resonator but that was louder. Then again, I got an RB. Ant at Enjuku did say that it'll sound more muffled on an RB compared to over an SR.

With the ECV on and cruising, its actually pretty quiet. I can hear my noisy ass transmission so thats pretty quiet for me.
