FIRST MOD

Here are some photos of the exhaust install. It didn't go as smoothly as the how to said. I had to drop the whole thing, and then separate the inlet pipe. Sounds good, only drove it 5 miles, been too busy.

The FedEx guys delivered it a day early. First ever, a day early!


Got anxious and opened up the box (11pm)


Looks great


Before install. Puny tips


Dropped the whole exhaust


Stock exhaust versus new exhaust


New one ready to go in


Here she is all installed

Very nice! I'd like to hear it. How did it affect the performance and sound? Also, WHAT kind of exhaust is it

I don't think it changes performance. Butt dyno says it does, but I have no proof. I am happy with the performance (till I throw the Katana supercharger on it), just waiting for CARB approval.

THe sound is intoxicating. This is the way the car should have sounded from the factory.

Followed this blog on ET. Definitely a great read! Thanks for sharing the experience with us Ryan. It's also so inspiring to see how many people (complete strangers) were so willing to hang out and meet up with you along the way. Goes to show that there are still a lot of genuinely good people out there.

Hope to catch you around sometime!
