man, your being humble cause she does look nice. The welds might need a touch up of two but seriously, its a good looking kit and retains a/c. I would run the 4" DP on the street all the time. Would love to see the ppl's faces when you drive up with an open downpipe!

Open 4" DP F T W! I suspect that the 3" DP will really choke off the power on this turbo. Last edited by RealQuick; Jul 2, 2007 at 12:27 PM.
