God damn that engine bay is clean! It looks brand new. How many miles do you have on the car?

You'll get a nice SOTP gain w/ the Jet hots!

Cool.

I have a set of Jet Hot Lt's and a Mufflex ORY sitting in my living room. Just waiting on my O2 sims.

The JetHots are nice and that Mufflex ORY is a beast.

i did it by myself, and you need to cut some **** (which took the longest), but after everything was cut, it only took like 20 minutes to put on. everything is easy to do, you just have to measure where you cut everything.

Dude, this is like doin drugs, the more you do, the more you want. I ran 13.2's at the track by droppin in SLP cold pack, Magnaflow catbacks (which I love!!) and some other goodies listed below. I dropped headers and catted Y pipe in 2 weeks ago and my car is flyin now. Word to the wise for the future, invest in some Prothane motor mounts (50 bucks) before you do the header (Ceramic coated Pacesetter LT's)and Y pipe (TSP Catted Y with Magnaflow cats) thing. I had to do it as an afterthought because the headers and Y were bangin on the floorboard. I learned that this is more common than people want to believe. Prothanes are the cure to the disease!!
Hopefully after header and Y pipe I will be in the 12 sec. Club. Will see in May at the track.
AND THE CAR SAID: I NEED MORE DAMMIT!!
AND THE OWNER SAID: I NEED A SECOND JOB TO FEED THIS DAMM ADDICTION!

Have fun, be safe and enjoy your car. Check out under my hood with 70K miles on the car. Click link below.
