RE: Is a 97 GS-T really worth modding?
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

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

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