well i drove the car after finishing everything. It runs better but i don't have the throttle response that i used to. it feels a lot like it has a lot more torque than before as well. I am pleased with the result and i guess i need to go through the whole interior tomorrow and get rid of everything that rattles. My exhaust needs to be rethought 7 inch pipe to cherrybombs after the collector seemed like a good cheap exhaust, but i will go deaf if i leave it how it is. Anyone know of any good true duals setups or have pictures of any for me. Im using 3 inch for my exhaust too

Now put some exhaust on that thing and get it tuned!!!!

I have a 2.5inch x pipe setup with dynomax bullet mufflers. Shouldn't be too expensive to make and sounds pretty good. I like how easy it is to take off. 8 bolts and time to go racing, lol.
