Its a 93. No O2's after the cat.

if there is any of the honeycomb left in the garage, sweep it up, and throw it in an outside dumpster....and be happy the comb came aprt while driving, having to take out all of that material with a variety of long metal tools isnt fun, lol.

That's gotta be the easiest free mod ever, lol!! Congrats man!!
