naaah dawwg
:)

just a regular 2.25" Magnaflow cat that i bought brand new off one guy for $40

My Engine/turbo Build - Flofocus - 01-28-2010

You want to weld the cat as close to the turbo as possible. Too far down and it wont heat up enough and will be useless. Trust me, I welded in the straight section of my exhaust, never passed etest. ;)

I'd bring it to PSI and have them weld in a cat in the downpipe. He should be able to do it.

why thank you kind sir lol i think it looks hawt

My Engine/turbo Build - drunkinmonkey - 02-16-2010

btw the drive side door panel will be changed back to stock

My Engine/turbo Build - ZX3_2NV - 02-17-2010

Damm the headliner and boot look awsome with the navy blue. You really need some aftermarket seats and possibly wheel to finish off the interior.

My Engine/turbo Build - drunkinmonkey - 02-17-2010

i think im just gonna reupholster the stock seats to match the interior

My Engine/turbo Build - ZX3_2NV - 02-17-2010

That would look good aswell just make sure you price it out first. Cause it can get expensive.
