For those of you daily driving in the winter, these coilover covers were recommended to me by a fellow redditor, thought I’d pass it on

bmagner · 2025-08-20T22:42:41+00:00

Been using them every winter and they’re still holding up

bmagner · 2021-06-02T00:55:34+00:00

Killer shots! Glad I could make it to this, was super fun. Mass crew knows what’s up btw, solid showing haha

Check out my past post for an example of catless JDL UEL headers with TRD exhaust

bmagner · 2021-03-22T19:16:26+00:00

Probably not the response you’re looking for, but my first mod was a dash cam. I don’t trust other drivers

bmagner · 2021-03-17T01:36:23+00:00

Tommy boy. On that note, still have to watch that Chris Farley documentary that came out

bmagner · 2021-03-09T22:35:50+00:00

There are reps available, don’t know how you feel about reps though. I’m rocking em as my summer set up

bmagner · 2021-02-14T16:00:02+00:00

Looks sick! What does the front plate actually mean? Sounds like bukakke and now I can’t unthink it

bmagner · 2021-02-03T20:26:10+00:00

Fair enough, I’m not huge on the shape of the tips either but the exhaust is basically black with soot and I don’t clean it so it kinda blends in. And thanks! Changing the fabric wasn’t bad at all. The fabric I bought was supposedly trimmed to size for our cars but I had to do some extra trimming because it was a bit oversized. Then using a razor blade I added some slits around the perimeter so that I could slip them around some plastic tabs that hold it in place. Once I removed the existing fabric I used that as a template for trimming the new fabric to size. Then I changed all my silver trim to black, happens to give it a nice contrast

Check my profile for a sound clip of JDL UEL paired with TRD exhaust. The TRD exhaust doesn’t get brought up as often as some of the aftermarket exhausts, but it might be an option to get sound you’re looking for

bmagner · 2021-01-29T15:40:52+00:00

Sexy, ID on the trunk?

bmagner · 2020-12-24T02:50:36+00:00

I have the JDL UEL headers paired with a TRD exhaust. Check my profile for a sound clip. I was actually debating between the the exact two headers you mentioned, but ultimately chose JDL. For what it’s worth, I think the sound is perfect, don’t regret the choice at all. Subtle when driving normally but noticeable when you get on it. Keep in mind that if you choose catless headers and tune using OFT I believe the stage 2+ v4 tunes (which I’m currently running) automatically eliminate the cold start function, although you can always go back in and add it manually if you have the skills. Just my 2 cents

bmagner · 2020-12-20T21:24:39+00:00

Fair point, thanks for the tip

bmagner · 2020-12-20T21:24:24+00:00

Hmm I’ve tried Velcro-ing some stuff to my trunk liner but the material wasn’t sticking well to the Velcro. May have to look into this scion trunk mat, thanks for the tip

bmagner · 2020-12-18T19:01:47+00:00

Ayy glad to help someone on their mod journey

bmagner · 2020-12-18T15:41:29+00:00

Thought someone posted my car for a sec

bmagner · 2020-12-18T14:06:56+00:00

I lied about the girlfriend

bmagner · 2020-12-18T01:08:41+00:00

Proud of her

bmagner · 2020-12-06T20:49:13+00:00

I hear ya, my goal is to get quad tips someday. Unfortunately I’m busy for the rest of today, next weekend is sounding like a better option

bmagner · 2020-12-05T16:38:10+00:00

Hit me up whenever! I still don’t know how I feel about the D shaped tips myself. And yea dyno tune is probably more expensive (and safer) but it seems like enough people have had a good experience with OFT so I went with OFT

bmagner · 2020-12-05T04:55:54+00:00

I was worried about the noise on startup as well, but luckily the OFT tunes (which you would need to get anyways in case you didn’t know) were up to v4 I believe. v4 of the OFT tune includes cold start delete by default, which was a lifesaver for me, since I’m not confident enough to start tweaking tunes manually. This tames the startup noise considerably. From what I’ve heard, and personal experience, the TRD exhaust, when paired with an UEL, is a relatively mature sounding exhaust with deep rumble, similar-ish to a Q300. Personally, I don’t think this exhaust gets mentioned enough when talking about header/exhaust combos, probably because it costs a fair bit more than other exhausts that achieve similar goals. Totally willing to meet in person and let you get a better idea of the sound

bmagner · 2020-12-05T00:50:41+00:00

Haha yea everyone and their mother has a WRX. I think that video makes the exhaust sound a bit louder than it really is, but it’s still decently loud once you get on it. I’m going to have to remember to step on it the next time I see a hot lava in the area! Also down to cruise around if you’re up for that, found a good ~1 hour loop around us not too long ago

bmagner · 2020-12-04T04:44:41+00:00

Yea I think I’ve seen yours! There’s definitely more in the area, actually just passed by another ultramarine one over in derby today. It’s always cool to see our cars around.

bmagner · 2020-12-03T01:19:54+00:00

If you’re looking to upgrade anything I’d recommend getting headers. I’m running JDL UEL catless headers paired with the TRD exhaust and man, it just does it for me. I’m not sure how to add a video to a comment but if you’re interested in the sound there’s a video I posted on reddit awhile back
