The only catch i had was on the drivers side i had to loosen the motor mount and put a small amount of upward pressure using the jack on the engine to lift it up not even 1/4", also get some good tall jack stands unless you have a lift, i had to use the ones for my yukon to get my car high enough.

Possible dumb question incoming. If I put hooker comp headers-high flow cats-Rumble x pipe from that Texas shop, would it work out? Also I'm from NJ and our laws on cars are fucked up would i even be able to drive it on the road.

You would have to get an exhaust shop to weld the cats into the system for you, but there's several people who have added cats to that setup.

Kooks the best Kooks are VERY nice but a HVMC is extra $$ and they come standard with ARH & QTP. ARH has the only collector with a velocity spike also.
