Headers are on!!!!

after 9 long hours my headers are on.

We had weird troubles but everything it working really good now.

I gotta say no other thirdgen is loud until you hear mine, and i can guarentee you. This thing sound like you at a drag track.

I mean where i connected the empty cat the thing is away from the tube by half an inch, leaving for a lot of unmuffled air.

I todl my mom i wanted it quieter, she yelled to my "WHY?"

I said its too loud,she looked at me like i was stupid for saying that.




Ghats how awesome this thing sounds guys,

First thing tomorow i'll have a sound clip/video for you guys.

Open headers are always loud. No where near as loud as many other cars (even Thirds) with open headers though, trust me.

I have the problem of setting off car alarms at just 2500 rpm with the muffler.



It sounded great with open headers but I couldn't stand taking it past 1800 rpm.
