edelbrock ti tech coated headers, 3'' y pipe, 3" hi flow cat, 3" mandrel bent flowmaster cat back (american thunder)

thanks guys!

next is some kind of intake, most likely custom made cause i dont want to relocate the battery for an SLP intake. My primary objective for now is maintence cause the car needs new suspension and brake work done. Once i get all that finished, i want to get a composite driveshaft and SLP siamesed runners (dont think they will help much but oh well )

after that i will save my money for quite some time to get a rebuild or new engine

wow!

Very nice!

I can't wait until I get my stuff finished. With 9 hours a week (if my lucky) and an empty engine bay, thing are moving slow.

Oh, and you need to change that backboard and put a BIG UK on it!! j/k

I have just about the same setup and I'm just not that happy with it. Just doesn't sound good to me. Would love to hear how yours sound. I'm looking for something else, just not sure what. Glad you like yours though. Looks good.

Memory stick of some sort?

Most likely it uses a USB cable that is just like a digital camera, small pin in one end, USB in the other. You can buy those cables at Office Depot, Staple, etc

You might want to turn them muffler clamps 180*. Might look nicer from the rear. Just a thought.

The first link i posted comes with a usb cable and for the ones that dont you can probably use the one that links the computer to the printer, or dont you have a digital camera?

yes for 400 dollars you get coated headers and y pipe. i bought like a 16" high flow (carsound) cat....i thought it would be a direct fit, but it wasnt. I didnt bolt the cat to the y pipe, i had everyting (including the pipe) welded at a cheap-o exhaust shop for 70 dollars.

you wont be able to bolt on the cat unless you get a direct replacement, its all confusing and i ended up getting the wrong thing but it was going to be welded anyway, and this cat i bought is slightly smaller so maybe less restrictive
