Welcome!

Next step is catless DP or a set of headers.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Yes the damage is a sight for sore eyes (mine mostly) but it will eventually get fixed.

Next mod is obviously my intake then after that its a downpipe with hi flo cat and thennnn.....idk what else.

So far I like them. Can't take corners to quick otherwise they squeel. Traction is very good wet and dry. I've only had them on for 2k miles or less.

I think they were worth it.

Intake came today. Got it put on. Makes it sound lots better I'm in love

For all of you running a catless Down pipe....did it throw any codes? I would love to do this mod if it's possible and doesn't hurt anything.

It will throw a code but it won't hurt a thing.

You can get it tuned out. Expect to pick up another 10+ hp with a dyno tune.
Some members have seen as much as a 5 mph increase in the 1/4 with just the Catless DP. I ran a 13.7 with the Catless DP, 3" exhaust, and a tune.

If you have a jack and some jack stands or some car ramps, a wrench set and a socket set, you can do it no problem. It's only 4 bolts.

Yes, you'll probably need new gaskets if yours come apart on disassembly. I believe the PN# for them are in a thread a little ways down.
