Why did you get the test pipe that replaces the cat?? I dont think you will pass emissions that way and i dont really think youll gain much except noise. I could be wrong though.
The brake lines are a good choice.

look for all your brake supplies in the GD section, maybe you can get a better deal.

And a straight pipe? what a way to fail emissions, (not here in fl! )and to make your car smell like crap for such a low hp boost. Save and grab a y-pipe. if you want, throw on a cat back. But by all means dont get rid of your cat, be warned.

well, because you lack precats in the y, all the more reason to NOT replace the cat. Not worth it. go buy urself some new gauge rings instead, those look nice.

One thing ive learned and at the same time really sucks is that you shouldnt believe the gains. Its kinda like those 20+ HP chips you see on ebay.

yea, thats ridiculous, expect that only on high performance cars, or if you're turbo'd, go buy an ebay strut bar that'll do ya more good.
(if you already have that.....well then im out of ideas for $40 max upgrades)

if your going to have a shop to install the test pipe, they probably wont do it.

1) its illegal to remove a perfectly working catalitic converter from any vehical

if your stupid enough to buy it (like me) then you deserve to get 60 dollars taken away from u.

on a side note i was either supposed to get the test pipe or the high flow catylitic converter ( the one of ebay) but my freind advised me to get the test pipe so i lisened.
