Alright thanks for input, my last mod was headers anyway think I will go appearance now. For the SFCS and STB I just take it to Friend,NE and I get to use a welder so I don't have any install costs so I will probably do those 2 things (scfcs/stb, springs/shocks) also do I need shocks it is a must?

For the piping in the middle of the car where the catback connects to the end of the y-pipe did you have to get that catback widened so that it would slip over they-pipe than you just SS band clamped it?

Would I need shocks? Also I have decided to go with finishing the SFCS and STB which equals no cost since I will install than I will go with lowering springs and shocks if I need them?

The Magnaflow needed a little work to have it center with the rear of the car. As for joining with the y-pipe, no issues. secured it with a band clamp. Don't have any pics, but it fits like a glove and sounds real good also.

I picked cc503 cam with nsa 1.6rr's. It will sound better, gain power, and when you get heads ported gain more. You had K&N cai as an option, im suprice you havent done it yet should probly have been one of the first things done.

That's a good lookin' car! Clean and simple, a little drop would give her a little more attitude.
