A Fun Day Of Mods...
So today, I started out by looking under the hood and seeing I have the **201 MAF instead of the **200 one on my 2K2. Sweet! 11/01 build date. So, I finally installed the GAB, if you can call it an install. Hacked the filter holder, hacked the elbow, put on the pipe, ran it to the splash guard.
Next, I drove to my local muffler place and put on my new Powertech 4" muffler (thanks to Kloogy for the idea). What a sweet sounds, not too loud with the stock Y Pipe and B Pipe but so deep....
Finally, I placed my orders for my new audio equipment. I ordered an Alpine 7894 HU to replace the stupid Bose HU, and an Infinity Basslink for the sub. I took out my Bose sub already, and this afternoon will be doing the rear deck fill with mattress padding and a lot of hot glue. I will leave the Bose grille on, and the port open to use as a bass port.
All in all, a nice day of mods. Next on the list will be to replace the 225/50 Craptenzas with 235/50 Kumhos. Still on the fence about springs and a rsb, I don't know about the installs on those. I am in SoCA, anyone want to trade bevs of choice to help? :-)

I also recommend the Kumho MX series tires. They are such an improvement for me. I went 235/45/17 though.

See I want the 235/50 to fill the wheel gap better. I saw comparing pics of 225/50 and 235/50 and liked the look of the 235/50. No drone on the powertech. Nice and growling btw 2 and 3k rpms. Having a little trouble with the shifting on my autotragic, don't know why. I"m gonna reset the ECU tonight and see if that makes a diff.

How do you like the GAB mod? Can you hear and feel a difference?

No, 201 is the replacement they have been putting in 2K2s so I feel ok about it. the AM600 is the one that is going in 2K3s. Either way, my MAF is fine now so not worth worrying about.

you need 22680-AM600...thats the newest MAF and it doesn't crap out supposedly...

No, 235/50 is within spec for the tire sizing calc, only 2.something difference I believe. Anyone know who had the pics of their car comparing 225/50 to 235/50???

The 22680-6N201 will eventually crap out. It takes much longer than a 22680-6N200, but it will die. If you keep the stock air filter, you may not notice the problem. But if you switch to an aftermarket filter, be prepared to visit a dealer at some point in the future.

I'm assuming I'm up to date since they did the hesitation TSB and didn't replace the MAF.
Thanks!
