You can buy the one for $40 Street Racer has in our classified adds and keep you stock for a extra.

If the cost of porting is about the same or more than that then I'll take it. If not, then I can't afford to spend any more cash than I need to.

I'd also like to know wheres the cheapest place around here to get a cat back installed since the two jacks I have most likely won't cut it to lift the car high enough and properly.

Send Mike (Street Racer ) a PM or call his # is on his Post in Classified Section and a cat back is easy w/ 2 jacks it comes in pieces to make it easy.

I know putting on the new exhaust is easy but getting off the stock one is a lot more of a pain.

It's a magnaflow. That would be awesome if you could help with the tb. When I got the car I was determined to not go to a shop for installs/mods and do as much as possible myself but I have zero tools on campus here and limited tools back home. But if you're down to help out let me know man.

Call Erik at Lashway Motorsports in Pompano. See if he can help with your exhaust work.

954-971-4383

For TB porting, there's nobody better than Pete at VMax Motorsports in Land O' Lakes, FL (just North of Tampa)

HTH

I called Lashway earlier today and they said it would be 300 bucks for the cat back install which is waaaaaay more than I can afford. I was expecting something so simple to be 100 bucks or less but I guess that's not the case. For that I can go buy all the stands and tools for much much less which I am considering doing.

Land O' Lakes is a good ways away but I've been to that area a lot and my girlfriend lives just south of Tampa so next time I visit her I'll be sure to check out VMax if I don't get it done with tatertot91 this weekend.
