Thanks bro, your going to need some ear plugs tho, running only headers right now and its f*ckin loud. I need to get some mufflers, but still don't know what kind.

I was grippin my wood grain and cruisin with the other arm out the window today, too bad I had a rope tied to the bumper shocks and my dad was towing me tho :rofl: We were taking it to my new apt, it looks like crap but there were a lot of lookers

Ahhh yea...wood grain....looks sweet!
 
So I finally got around to opening up my oil filter from break in...and I didnt see anything too alarming, i found like two small pieces of paint and im guessing normal amounts of fine dirt/ shavings there were no large chunks or pieces, So im guessing break in was a success. BUt dam.. no one ever mentions how hard it is to open one of these up! everyone always saying just open it up and check like its nothing :rofl:

about an hour into it this is the result

I will be registering the car sometime this month hopefully.

My GF also got me two 40 series flowmasters for my bday so now i just got to get my exhaust system ran.. What are you guys paying or what would be a good price to have 2.5 pipe from header back with x pipe not including the mufflers because I already have them..

Cheapest i've been qouted so far was 250 for a 3in to 2.5 reducer and 2.5 pipe with x pipe to the mufflers and exiting behing the rear tires, and also including the modification to the crossmember and reinforcement. How does that sound?
 
that sounds pretty good to me...u gonna run high flow cats? Nice build...looking good!
 
So its been a long time since my last update but I've been saving for exhaust...And I finally got it done today!!: Dual xhaust, header back with xpipe. Cross member mod...2 stainless super 40's delta flow's
