i went ls1 pipe for somethin different, with the timing you adjust your base timing from 10deg advance(stock) to 14 or even 16 and run premium fuel and it gives a noticeable power increase.

and yeah i have thought about painting them but a didnt have the right tool to get at a bolt at the back of the drivers side one .lol

i got mine tuned in real time with haltech e6,is yours safely advanced? Most shifters in the vn do need a bit of work to make em look trick check out the statesman's vq for a shifter with wicked trim work on the forum.

it is shoved in there lol, to advance your timing you put the computer to diagnostic mode to get the base timing,then get a timing light and turn the dizzyto the appropriate mark.
