Installed a Stillen Exhaust on my car.

Well, I finally had an exhaust to install. It's my buddy iansw old exhaust. Basically came from a 97 4th gen. Had a shop put it in. They needed to modify it a little, but they got it in. I can say 2 things about it. It isn't as loud as I thought it was going to be (actually just only a little deeper than it was before), and the tip doesn't quite match the car, so it looks ricey. I'm probably gonna hack the tip and put a different one on most likely. Other than that, the car seems a little more responsive, but not that much more (so I probably gained a couple ponies maybe). I will try to get pics and video sometime soon.

What are you going to do with your old exhaust?

IIRC, it's a fairly new 2.5" system, isn't it?

If your're looking to sell, I might be interested.

My muffler was a 2.25" one. It's in good shape, but I might hold on to it for now..but give me a few weeks and I might sell it. It's just the muffler and the tip.

Keelan, I'll have some soon. But if not, you'll get to see it next weekend at Golden Gardens.

Hell Wylie, you should drive down here on the weekend of the 20th for the NWM golden gardens meet in Seattle. Heck, you should join up with NWMaxima.com. We have one guy thats from the Vancouver BC, his name is BlackCat, has an S/C 4th gen.

Got line on the front parts needed for the conversion from one of my Oregon buddies. Just need to get the rear parts and I'll be set.
