Don't mind the dirty car

 

 

Nice fit. looks great. How is the sound w/ the headers? Waht was in there before?

 

That looks great! Are 13 second timeslips in the near future now?

 

bling bling.


and yes when will we see some 13 second timeslips? or will I have to beat you to it.

 

I am going to the track in about...uhhh....3 hours


I can't describe how good they sound. For those who don't know, I have cattman headers as well. I have not driven with the cat-back much, just a quick trip around town but I love it. It quiter than I thought it would be. After 3.5K rpms or so I can't really hear it. Drone doesn't seem to be a big issue. There is some drone at 2K rpms or so in 3rd if I am off the throttle, but if I even have my foot just touching the gas pedal it is dead quite. I will be on the highway for an hours or so tonight so I will get a better idea.

Fitment was exact as well.

Oh, and most of you know how I am. I am not going to guess how much power they gave.

 

doh. looks like you'll be getting to the track before me. how much did it set you back and where did you get it from?

 

$500 shipped from Option Imports. I wanted to go through SWAW but like I have posted in other threads the SP2 is on back order and they were the only ones with one in stock


As optomistic as I want to be, I just don't think my car is capable of 13's right now. Things just have not gone my way at the track since I got the new motor. But we will see what happens.

 

well, Mike good luck and hope you pull off some good times at the track.

 

looks awesome!

 

wait a minute ..... you ran 14.1 without headers or exhaust?

 

looks great

 

Yep, and Neal did a 13.4 without headers. The truth is no one has proven any real power gains with the Cattman headers on the track or on the dyno. Catbacks have been proven to gain ~5whp/8wtq. If anyone can prove that headers may or may not work, Mike is the guy to do it.

Mike-
The setup looks really nice and it's good to know that it fits perfectly. The exhaust should get a bit deeper as the carbon builds up in the piping.

 

Sweet looking exhaust.

 

bling bling shot!

I love the way my sp1 shines same as yours...

 

Looks great, Mike.
Good luck on some good new times.
Keep us posted.

 

simply beautiful

 

looks real good..

 

looks good. I need to clean my muffler.

 

Very nice man! It doesn't look anything like a coffe can like mine.

 

Looking good, I like how the build up is progressing

 

dam thats one bad *** i30, well the baddest one i see

 

Not quite as hot as this one though....

 

Looks good man. Keep us posted on the numbers. What have u done to the car if you dont mind me asking im kind of a noob and dont really know that many people.

 

Never post that theifs pictures here again..

The greddy looks great Mike

 

Looks good, how did the O2 work out?

 

Hmm that's a view of Mike's car I've never seen...

 

A video/sound clip would be nice. It would be a good comparison between your Cattman headers/Greddy SP2 exhaust and my Cattman headers/Cattman exhaust.

 

looks great.. BTW thats a dirty car? good god if thats dirty whats mine

 

Mike called me and he ran pretty well. I will let him post. He also said he loves the sound of it, and he hates ricey sound like mine, he makes fun of mine all the time.

 

oh well. just tell him you're still faster.

 

Got to really test out the exhaut around town and on a 80 miles highway drive. The header/cat-back set up sounds really good. It's really deep. The best thing was that is does not drone on the highway...well, at least not at my normal cruising speed. Drone was my biggest concern and is what has kept me from getting a cat-back for so long. Anytime I am under 2.5K rpm's or so I get a drone, nothing terrible but it's there. I can modulate the throttle to make it go away. The at about 2.8K and higher it's silent as can be. My normal highway cruising speed is 75-80 which puts me at 3K-3.3K rpm's and that is in the no drone zone. This is very important to me since I take a few 1,000 mile road trips a year.

I am very pleased with the set up and will try to get you guys some audio/video clips soon.

 

Really too much for me to remeber it all.

Performance is Intake, Cattman Headers, Greddy SP2 cat-back, MEVI, JWT/ECU, Findanza flywheel.

Rims, tires, suspension, various cefiro stuff like the headlights and chrome gauge rings. Tint....yada yada yada
