yes, spend about $300 on a decent head unit (which you can find good ones throughout the posts on this board) and everything will sound twice as good. the stock headunit is just too limiting

knoxville2013

getting a aftermarket headunit will improve your sound a whole lot more than adding an amp to the stock headunit. a aftermarket hu will put out at least 52 watts per channel and the features on it will help you adjust the sound for whats best in your car.

knoxville2013

not true because the cai pulls air in from underneath the car which is a lot cooler than a short ram pulling in air from the warm engine bay

knoxville2013

it detects a person in the passenger seat by their weight and then it causes the "passenger seatbelt" light to start blinking

knoxville2013

i would do this mod but im not willing to give up my aftermarket HU. The features on it just make everything sound ten times better plus it had RCA outs of course for my subwoofer. I dont understand why some company wont just make adapters...its not like the iPod is a secret

knoxville2013

well the 03-04 is two pieces, the 05 is one piece (im pretty sure)

knoxville2013

im pretty sure quite a few people have but the kits dont get shipped till early march as i recall

knoxville2013

its a billet grill style...just straight horizontal lines

knoxville2013

i live in the dallas area...i havent seen snow in years yet the window is covered within 3 days after being washed..haha

knoxville2013

i have both mid and top and my window is plenty dirty...so my vote would be...its for looks

knoxville2013

when i installed my tweeters i wired them up to the harness that is on the drivers side down on the left , i grounded it out to nearest piece of frame body and i have one problem. the drivers side tweeter has this constant buzz. it only comes on if the engine is on (if just the radio is on there is ...

knoxville2013

ok thanks, that makes sense...i guess i have just been noticing the revs more now cause of how much louder it is. thanks though

knoxville2013

after i put on the cosmo intake, if i dont let the car warm up for about 5-10 minutes then it will never rev past 4500. but after a few minutes it will go the full 6200 or however far it goes. im not sure if it has to do with the MAF sensor..but does this happen to anyone else?

knoxville2013

at one of our foreigner stands in the mall they sell model cars and i see two gtrs every time, a yellow and a red one.

knoxville2013

i have a 15 under my seats on each side that work great. and by the way the whole "pulse to the music" has nothing to do with hooking it up to your stereo...it is just sound activated

knoxville2013

well i dont know what happened with mine then...the only problem was the last bend in the pipe wasnt bent straight down but rather towards the fog light...so it just sat on the foglight housing with no way to get the filter on...oh well...i got it to work

knoxville2013

its an 04 automatic

knoxville2013

yeah what i did was took the little hook that was supposed to sit on top of the vibramount...bent it straight out...and slide it under the hole where the intake goes in. it drops the filter down a little farther than its supposed to but it is still well protected and doesnt come near the foglight ho...

knoxville2013

i recieved and installed my cosmo cai today and was not all that happy with the product. Lets just say the pipe wasnt bent very well...i had to do some "modification" to make it so the filter could fit on. But i got it all to fit somehow and it works great. I wish it would have been made b...

knoxville2013

well its always good to help your engine breathe better (aftermarket intake) and it most defiantely wont decrease performace by adding it on with the exhaust...it can only help performance.

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»umm. no.just tryin to help, here in texas we have a place called traders village near fort worth. its a gathering of a lot of our latino friends and they sell stuff for reallll cheap. i picked up a 2 pairs of tweeters today for 20 bucks, they sound really nic...

knoxville2013

steal it, then its free

knoxville2013

they have a feature called DSO that simulates a rising sound (as if the speakers were by your head instead of down at the floor) its real cool and it helps if you dont have tweeters up high

knoxville2013

i love my sony xplod head unit...i got it 2 years ago and wouldnt dare change it out for a new one unless it died

knoxville2013

be careful with ebay on neon tubes, ive had a few friends recieve busted tubes off ebay

knoxville2013

well i think he might be talking about the turn on wire, which should connect in with a wire going into the cd player. its blue with a white stripe in my 04 vibe. the turn on wire makes it so that the amp doesnt turn on until the cd player is turned on.

knoxville2013

lucky, i wish gas was that cheap here in dallas, we are at a rather constant 1.85+

knoxville2013

theres a whole topic on this somewhere on here, search for it, i believe most people that took it to the dealer got it replaced

knoxville2013

how do LEDs work, do you have to wire them up with a switch to turn them on?

knoxville2013

injen has one for the vibe, ptuning.com has one of the better prices.

knoxville2013

alright yes madbill i think the "bulldozing" thing is what im asking about and thank you for that, and that looks more like a hassle than buying new ones which is what im going to do now in response to your comments. thank you guys for the information.

knoxville2013

i read that before i posted actually, and all i read was about cutting springs which is not what im asking about, but maybe i missed something in there.

knoxville2013

i was talking to a relative of mine who really knows his stuff about trucks/cars and i brought up lowering springs. he suggested just compressing the springs already on my vibe so that way it lowers it but you dont have to go through the hassle of getting new ones. Does anyone know if this is possib...

knoxville2013

i wired mine through the door seals, just start from the front and pull towards the back like ^ said and stick them in there. Its a tight squeeze but it works. And the firewall you either have to drill a hole or cut a hole in the rubber guard where the rest of the wires go through. I just cut a whol...

knoxville2013

i would like to see one on a 03-04 and not the ugly 05. why did they screw the front up like that on the 05's, it keeps me up at night

knoxville2013

Yeah with a 12 in the back and my desire to blow my ears out by 20 (im 17) i dont really hear any road noise at all,

knoxville2013

i never took my spoiler off and its light silver (the car color), whatever the name is for that. i bought mine with the spoilers on it and the rack will in no way slide all the way off with a top spoiler.

knoxville2013

the will still go back on...i only broke the part of the track that hadnt come loose...so 3/4ths of it is still there. I will never put them back on though...it was hell takin them off!

knoxville2013

so I decided to remove my roof rack today and I automatically noticed that the top spoiler would be a problem. I went through with it anyways and when the first rack almost slid all the way off...the spoiler stopped it. After reviewing it and seeing the rack wont come off because of the spoiler...i ...
