thx paintball for helpin look around, a full turbo back would be nice, but many are illegal....

now if i get the pipes without the muffler, can i get any muffler i want as long as the inlet fits?



i know this may be a dumb question.....i don't have a lift....or know anyone that has one, will a auto repair place put it in, or can i do it myself with lifts?

if u get that magnaflow cat, it is street legal. Thats why i got the cat. I put mine on 4 6 ton jack stands ( Cause the go up to about 3 feet) and had somebody else help hold the exhaust as i slid it on the hangers. Word of advice, be prepared to replace the o2 sensor that is behind the cat. they break trying to get them out.lol

A repair shop will probably charge you alot to install it, honestly, having never done an exhaust before, i got my old one out in about an hour and put the new one on in about an hour and a half or 2 hours. Save the cash and just get a buddy to hold it while u bolt it in

ORIGINAL: congonator

to be honest with ya...i am afraid to run it on the track due to my past experience with trannies...lol...i am about to take i t to oklahoma to have it dyno'd and have everything set just perfect to see what it will put down...i am hoping for the mid 500's....

As for the GSX comment.....LOL, not sure about that one
i was just kidding with ya, but id bet i could pull on you from a launch, but then youd catch up. im just rebuilding slowly so i dont kill myself.

you would, without a doubt, murder my **** pretty hard off the line...but i really dont know about anything else, you may beat me, as i am a pretty not-so-good driver....lol...and i know what you mean, i have been down for the better part of 9 months and just got back on the street, so its best to take it slow and do it right...i think my tranny went last night though, so if you can beat a car being pushed by me, then you would definitely win

lol, we are on the same page....it sucks with texting or email or posting online because my severe sarcasm doesnt always get interpreted correctly...no harm done bro...

Question: With forced induction, dont you usually just want one large opening for max performance on an exhaust system?
