This time around my build is gonna take some time so I decided I would do a build thread to keep track of the progress. Due to numerous PM's and questions, here is a little background about why I'm starting over and why I stripped it to stock in the first As alot of you know this is how Version 1 turned out:
It was built with the help of alot of sponsors and IMO turned out fantastic. It was featured in S3 magazine, numerous online blogs and was a Feature Vehicle at SEMA 2010. After SEMA I looked at a a few options for changes, but ultimately I decided to sell it and start down a different path. Well I couldnt sell it intact and once I stripped it back to stock I realized I was going to have to buy a ton of OEM parts to get it back to stock. The car set at my friends house for 7 months partially stripped down while I built another (much smaller) project and until I finally got motivated to get started on another build on the Genesis Coupe. At first I contacted one of my go to Vendors GenRacer to get a new FMIC, BOV and intake. As always Andrew got them shipped out right away and sold them to me for a great price.
Picture before GReddy BOV kit was installed:
I had previously made contact with TurboXS about some of their products and right after I had installed all of the GReddy parts I received my reply, I was selected by TurboXS for a sponsorship. So all the GReddy stuff will be coming off and I will be installing the full line of Turbo XS parts for the Genesis Coupe.
First to be installed was the TurboXS RS Turboback exhaust. I must say that the quality and fitment of these parts are second to none. As you can see all the pieces came in a nice highly polished finish and fitment was perfect.
Better pictures will follow but for now here are some iphone pictures:
Single Exit
O2 Housing and Downpipe
Downpipe
Midpipe and Catback
Burnt tip
I was able get the FMIC kit, BOV kit and intake installed today:
