INJEN CAI installed and loving it

Just wanted to share the latest performance mod I've done. I installed an INJEN CAI on Friday and wow what a change in noise levels and power. This is a must for anyone who hasn't done this to their car yet ( I know most of you have). Some pics are below...When car gets up between 5000 and 6700 rpms, some very interesting noises begin to scream. I added the Greddy catback last week and the intake really opened up the flow of things, very happy with the service I received from Matt at EVASION Motorsports
That is where I've gone to get my parts and he's great to work with...Next is the Cattman SS y-pipe, should be here Mon. or Tues. Can anyone supply me with some feedback from the UDP mod? Underdrive pully's, are they worth the time effort and $$? Keep maxin', also ran with a stock Camero today on the Interstate...dead even he was a v8, probably like a 99 or 2000, never though that could happen when I bought the 'grocery getter'.

I heard that if your an automagic, you can't really feal rhw difference on the UDP and some say you can with an auto. If your a manual, the mods easier to do because you can lock the flywheel in 6th. I'm an auto and I have to lock the flywheel through a little access plate ( lucky manual people) You can get the whole set of belts from stillen at around $40.

Yes, the fit and finish of the INJEN is worth the extra $$. The sound and butt dyno results are nice as well...Why is Greekmaxima telling me "I don't think so man..." to the Cattman SS y-pipe for my 02 SE?

Apology to greekmaxima

This is to formally apologize to Greekmaxima for my comments re: cattman y-pipe for 02 SE. It arrived yesterday and after 3 hours of labor and frustration, its the wrong pipe...so looks like you were right man. Sorry for the comments, I hope you can look past it and now I'll be returning this pipe and waiting it out for the Stilen Headers. Anyone know cost or availability dates yet?
