Tried to install exhaust once again... Got all pipes in place and the flange for the cat has a nice paper thin gap in the middle of it...

So I tightened it all down put the car back in the ghetto garage and will figure it out when im less angry at what has transpired.

Also one of the pipes runs up against the subframe bolt awesome... Sounds great with a major exhaust leak...

Swapped out the stupid Spyder headlights for some OEM style blacked out ones. I had to swap over the harnesses, as I was getting fast blinking and other issues with the harness they came with. It seems that the person who put in the Spyders did the same.

I decided to take the liners out of the front wheels and spray sound deadener in as well. I have nitto Invo tires with low mileage which seem to be relatively quiet. Thanks for the tip.

Got the PSS10's on, swapped out the calipers for the factory Brembo's, put on some Hotchkis sway bars and rolled the rear fenders. Its feels like a totally different car now

yes, go lower... not much more since you are not really looking for crazy stanced out look, but 3/4" should not be too crazy I think, what ever you have take half more...

I agree with Quick ^^. I'm not a knuckle-draggin'-low fan but the way the car sits in the pic seems like stock height. If you have another 15mm, I say go for it.

Just goes to show what those intakes tubes actually do, and as far as the filters, all they'll get you is worn piston rings.

3 days of misery and when I checked for leaks I noticed some nice cracks in my catalytic converters... Even so this is one disappointingly quiet exhaust system... the stock exhaust is honestly a better sounding system... O well at least it looks good.
