Ended up taking the cat's off to check the internals of them since i was getting an o2 sensor and a cat code. took off the passenger side first since it was a b2p2 o2 throwing the code... come to find out the cat was hollowed out by the previous owner... curious why i wasnt getting the same code for the other side i ended up pulled that cat off also just to find out it wasn't hollowed out. I ended up hollowing that one out also to match the other side and will have it like this until my headers, x-pipe and slp shotgun bullets get ordered

yesterday was track day, test and tune. drove her an hour there. ran 2 passes, both spraying 150 shot. pulled a 12.3 and drover all the way home, no leaks, ses lights, knocks, noises or overheats. purred like a cat even after being beaten like a dog.

Did the fuel pump access panel mod and replaced the fuel pump. Since I had the rear interior all out to do the fuel pump access panel I ordered 64 square ft of second skin damplifier and 9 square feet of luxury liner pro. I have been wanting to put some sound deadening in the car to reduce road and exhaust noise. The true duals helped a lot with the drone, but I still want the car more silent.

That's what I was thinking, just running a bead on the outside and see what happens.

After a lot of hours and sore fingers, I can finally say that I'm done installing second skin damplifier from the rear seats all the way to the hatch. The rear of the car doesn't sound like its gonna fall apart when I hit a bump anymore and I don't hear the fuel pump anymore. Road noise and exhaust noise is down a little bit but I still need to add some to the doors.

the doors done will give u a nice difference in road noise, and music volume inside, i coated outer skin as much as cud reach, and covered the inner well, noticable difference for sure. also the areas around the back seats where the spearkers are behind the sail panel benefits huge from it

I'm probably going to do the doors next week, I can't wait to hear the difference. I bought 2 cans of 3m rubberized undercoating to cover the front and rear fender wells and also the bottom of the trunk to reduce a little bit more road noise. Got a phone app to record the sound decibel before and after sound deadening, still waiting to do the front doors and the undercoating to get the after sound decibel. Pretty sure the app is not precise but it was free
