Dude, do it. It will totally solve your problem. Do the trunk area first and work your way forward until you are happy with the reduction. I had the same issue...

My exhaust is completely stock minus the cat's. I was thinking about starting in the front first.

Were you suggesting starting in the rear assuming i had an after market exhaust?

^Yes. I was assuming the majority of the sound is coming out of the pipes. Also, the area under the front seats A) already has sound insulation, and B) is brutally complex due to the hvac system and wiring under there. In my experience (I have only an aftermarket muffler) the trunk was easy and had the largest impact. Bottom line is that it will make a huge difference anywhere it is installed.

Lesson learned!

"Lightweight" UR accessory pulleys. They are really expensive, no lighter than stock (less than 1/10th lbs difference if any), and make the rest of the stock pulleys look even worse than they did prior to installation. I'm only keeping them because I don't think it's worth my time to remove and try to sell them.

Purchasing lowering springs (Eibach) and installing them, then have to remove them because there is nothing to correct the alignment for the 2nd Gen.
Waste of time and money until the camber kits for the 2nd Gen are available.

purchasing the Lexani LSS-10 instead of waiting to buy the stock FX50 21" rims

Iv'e had several comments from people that said they had not seen many high end cars that were modded.

Thats true in Mississippi where I live. Mostly modded imports and trucks

Having over 5 sets of wheels and tires in my garage at one point -- if I could just be satisfied with just one...

I'm down to two sets at least. I will be a TLC's Wheel Addicts, it's on right after Jonas on "InfinitiScene Addict".

Haha I was just giving a hard time.

Why do you regret this? What would you have done different? Still would had painted the roof black or just the rails black? I think your FX looks awesome...it's my mentor!
