    Hello Everyone!
    I just wanted to introduce myself. I own a White Mitsubishi Lancer ES with a manual transmission. I have owned my lancer for over a year and I enjoy the car very much.
    Here are the few things I have done to my car:
    15% window tint
    TWM short shifter w/ TWM weighted shift knob
    Redline performance shift boot
    Autovation racing pedals
    VG Shark Fin Antenna
    RRM pulley

    Edit: I forgot to mention that I also have a K&N drop-in filter and a OEM Mitsubishi Upper Strut Bar

    I am seriously considering a new muffler but I have no idea what to get. For starters I don't know if its worth getting a cat-back for our car. If not I have been considering the RRM magnaflow or the HKS Hi-Power exhaust.

    Here are pics of my car:

    welcome I too am from CT (New Britain) and drive an 08 Electric Blue GTS. There are a good amount of us in the area and were trying to organize a meet. About your exhaust, theres a shop in Manchester that will do a full cat-back for around $150 and theres another shop that will do it for $250. Welcome to LT.

    Ok, awesome BlueDevil! I've seen the car around too...just not the driver: lol.
    On a side note: LuvMYLancer: as a matter of fact, I have family that live up in Ontario, but they live in Ottawa. How far is Peterborough from the capital?

    The short shifter w/ the weighted shift knob feels wonderful. The gear changes are faster and much more fluid. It really changed the way the car felt when changing gear. I don't have any regets getting it.
