So I finally installed my TXS exhaust and it sounds awesome! I don't find it loud at all. It now equals up to the vortech whine whereas before I couldnt even hear the borla exhaust over the vortech. I feel more torque too. Thank you come again!

junkmycar.com is a waste of time. i've got this old school bus rusting away in my back yard (use to be used as a hunting camp) and those guys have been pulling my leg for almost a month now. They keep saying a tow truck will contact me and I still havn't received a phone call. Found two places in the yellow pages and they weren't interested either.

Does anyone know of anyone that picks up stuff like this for scrap metal or anything?

I'm not trying to make any money. I just want the thing out of my yard....

everyone told me test pipes with Nismo exhaust would be really loud, but i don't find it very loud either.

Maybe thats why I'm not as loud as I thought i would be... FI eh?

Another thing I found out while I was installing the exhaust.... I touched my rear sway bar and was like damn that was easy to move... But then found out that my bushing on the passenger side was completely broken. So I'm about to buy some aftermarket sway bars. Anybody care to give me some personal experience with sway bars?

supercharpers generally make a car louder, turbo's make it quiter. are you sure you put that thing in the right spot?

My car is louder but its not unbearable. It is kind of loud on the highway going around 60ish. But I don't mind. And I ALWAYS put it in the right spot...

I got hotchkis sways and love them. Got both front and rears on max and the car feels like it pulls into the corners. Definitely recommed the hotchkis. The seem to to be the most common too

Wish me luck going to start the install process tomorrow. Well working on header problems tomorrow after work so I can be ready for vortech on saturday
