Yup, it's everything everyone tells me it was supposed to be.

I am getting the car dyno'd on Jan. 6th. Wish me luck. I had 168fwhp before the ypipe... I am hoping for 180 now... hee hee... oh and I am changing my plugs too...

yeah, well, I have to wait till the end of March before the local track opens again...

But I can't wait either... Man, it runs so much stronger now. and dude, that sound is sweet with the Greddy.

My friends say that I am back firing now though, so I may be retarding the timing a bit so that not so much fuel is being used. considering I really don't have much back pressure anymore... y, cat, and cat back is all free flowing 2.5"... hee hee...

Sounds great, can't wait for the dyno result! This sounds weird, but I can't wait for my Y-pipe to give out....

Flyry, when do we get to see it? I'm dying of curiosity!

Also, Standard Question for 235/45 tire owners: What rims do you have?

Later!

why pay more!


too tired to argue, just read this post. It was a good one.

I would not go with the cattman one for a couple of reasons,

1 the typical american attitude, Its american made, so its the best.

and secondly, overpriced! for a piece of metal with a 50dollar flex?!?!?!?

that is exactly what they cost here for joe blow off the street(canadian dollars)

as for welding, as long as the welds are made with a good machine, no worries should arouse.

Im off to sleep now.
