Much cheaper option would be to just run an RPM switch for the time being and tune later

Meh wait till later. Youre gonna need to run it with a wideband anyways so your budget should be prepared for both.

BTW, I left my camera in your whip.

So after some searching, I finally got my hands on this here GReddy Sp2 exhaust and i got to say, i love how it feels!

My unwrapping of the GReddy:


Comparison between GReddy and Megan Racing exhaust (now possibly up for sale):


GReddy Installation:


Now this is what strikes me as odd. While I was using the Megan Racing catback setup, the OBX Headers were not that close to the cross member as others told me they would need to modify when installing. Now that I install the GReddy exhaust, its sitting right next to the cross member which will result me in having to modify it. Anyone might know why or what the issue could be?

Finally, here is after the install...will have to record a vid for sound. Its amazingly quiet until it opens up but still keeps the quietness. Just what i needed.

I believe it does stick out due to the fact that its a 97-99.

you make a good point sir rod...but the thing is that i do have a good amount of electic stuff out there....i'm not the smartest person when it comes to covering it all up, so i'd probably damage it all...lol

Most recent update, I finally converted my SRI into a CAI and i do have to say that i feel the difference. This might be where the extra push is coming from on my low end. Also, got my Apex'i vafc2 installed and upped my RPM switchover point to 5k. Feel an extra kick coming from that too.

will post pix when i take them. i do have vids that i will post soon.
