hey, sisforsurfing is having one made sometime this week... he's gonna go to a muffler ship. if you can, set something up with him and have yours made at the same time and it'll be cheaper for both of you i'm sure.

Yeah, I'll be going sometime before Thursday (hopefully by the end of the weekend) to get one made. Not quite sure where, but I'm definitely getting it done. PM me if you'd want to do it and we can probably set something up.

I went to a local Meineke two days ago and got it done, you shouldn't pay much more than 100 bucks for the whole thing... if you do, look elsewhere.

And let's just say catless downpipe + no resonator + super secret loud muffler = amazing sound, VERY rumbley around town and huge whooshing madness at WOT. I'm pretty sure it's way too loud to be legal, but I'll let you guys who are there tomorow night judge how loud it is.

Now I just gotta deal wiht that CEL...

Just pickup a mechanical CEL fix...they're pretty cheap and very easy to do.

No, the HKS downpipe removes two bolted "sections" of exhaust, which each have a cat. There's also what looks to be a resonator further downstream, a little ahead of the rear diff.

Yeah, I just have to drill it out and get over to someone's house that has an O2 wrench.

I bought an o2 wrench from sears and/or pepboys(forget which one) for under $20. I have it in my box at work, if your around the KOP Best Buy I'll let you borrow it.
