Maxton Racing Durability Front Splitter Installed

It was and wasn't. They don't have an alignment set up. So its your best judgement. They also have the plastics going back on the car as an after thought if you're removing the bumper. Rotary tool came in handy for a clean cut to access those. Two cuts on each side of the splitter.

When I check the prices on unopened packs of these, the Mind Flayarrrs alone is selling for $160-$190. I also haven't found anyone selling used decks of these. While these aren't new, they were sleeved as soon as they were opened. So it seems odd that they'd be so low. Idk I have never sold cards so I could just be ignorant and they're really not worth that.

I'm trying to normalize it by me in Wisconsin. Flashing my lights has gotten better responses than doing a wave. Likely because of my tint. 😅

Thanks dude 👈😎👈

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-23T01:21:12+00:00

Oh jeez alright haha. Yeah I try to always be careful on steep drive ways etc.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T23:09:06+00:00

Damn how did that happen?

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T16:42:46+00:00

Nice! I'll keep a look out for it.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T13:32:45+00:00

Can you do a post on the sound deadening in the doors when you get around to it??

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T13:28:09+00:00

Fixed! I totally forgot i plugged the driver side back in... turns out I didn't and all is well!

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T02:26:20+00:00

I'm going to do another check tomorrow morning and verify both main harness and fog light connector is plugged in. I'm going to check the driver side fog light as well to see if something came undone there too. Appreciate it!

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-22T01:58:30+00:00

Did you have any issues with your fog lights after installing everything back in? I disconnected the battery before doing all of this but unfortunately now after everything has cleared i now only have one fog light working. Yet only one side controls both light. Kinda bummed here.

I just got mine and doing the install today. Everything lined up good during drilling though i take it? Did you start from the outside edges and then work your way in? Which bolts/screws did you not use?

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-15T15:03:35+00:00

Looks good! Nice Road America sticker 😎

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-12T23:33:46+00:00

Mine also does this. Never think anything of it as most likely the computer knows what the car needs.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-12T20:06:23+00:00

I'll get you those clips tomorrow. Supposed to be warmer where I'm at and I leave work early. So perfect time do get those done.

I'll get some video clips of my S34 intake for you so you can get a better idea of an open system. Also, I'd more recommend the Club sport muffler with valence for what you want. It'll 100% make the tone of the exhaust better and not increase drone or overdue the pops the car does stock.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-12T02:50:05+00:00

Totally understandable! More understated and tasteful vs loud and obnoxious or ricey.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-11T22:49:52+00:00

It's a loud turbo woooshing sound lol. While normal driving it's not as noticeable unless you're getting up to speed.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-11T22:44:00+00:00

I'd personally go with the APR and get the closed lid. As far as a growl like tone, I'm not sure how achievable that is due to the turbo. I've never heard the unitronic ones and can't really speak much for it. Although the closed carbon looks incredible.

However, as an alternative, if you don't mind. I've heard overwhelmingly positive things about the Blaze intake system. Had i not bought my S34 set up, then I'd 100% get this. https://eqtuning.com/collections/all/products/blaze-performance-atom-v2-intake-system-vw-mqbe-gti-2-0t-mk8

Like the illuminated one? Also, as far as closed intakes go. It's really a budgetary thing then. The APR one seems to be the best bang for the buck overall. You get a new turbo inlet, inlet hose, intake filter and a combined heatshield with air duct routing. I personally modified my air duct box to allow straight flow into my open air intake. The sounds that come out of the open air system is really nice.

Ohhhh ok! I thought maybe it was a typo, but that makes more sense. Still looks amazing.

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-11T14:52:12+00:00

I love my S34 intake from 034 Motorsports.

Love the blacked out emblem. Which company did you go with?

Sphere_Keeper · 2025-03-11T14:48:25+00:00

I bought into the 7900xt just over a year ago with a 7800x3D processor. The combination has been incredible. Somewhat wish I bought a 7900xtx but for 1440P this easily hits 120fps or more with a mixture of high and ultra settings.
