Dude, your manifolds/cats make the bottom of your car look like crap...how do you live with yourself?! Seriously though it looks great but I can't see spending that much time on something no one ever sees.

Sorry, why would you waist money on a y-pipe that bolts to stock manifolds and doesnt even replace the catts? What does it gain like 2-3 hp

That looks good, but I would only polish the catback if it was me

I want to polish the tips of my true duals, i think that would look pretty cool.

dout it still has a warrenty and i have LT's and TD's with high flow cats and pass inspection. obd2 cars dont need emission test just visual and comp. at least in TX.

and if money is an issue (dont think it is by looking at his suspension stuff) i would of saved up the money and kept the stock y

well just saw it was a firehawk i guess keeping it like stock would be the smart thing to do good choice
