I've been told more than once by JDM that, in their experience, the 1 3/4" primaries can give running issues on our cars. I suggest you give them a call, as they can explain why alot better than me. (732)780-0770

ok. Thanks! Im also considering Hooker Long tubes i know they been around awhile and they make a 1 5/8 ceramic coated for $745 i think. Now the mid-pipe should i go with cat or no which is better performance wise?

N/A engines need backpressure forced induction engines dont. N/A 1 5/8 with 2.5 collectors. SC/Turbo 1 3/4 with 3.0 Collectors

If you dont have a lift then expect to spend more time on your back than a ***** on dollar day.....there is a ARH writeup on TMS, took like 19 man hours to do the install....expect to spend 5-10 hrs depending on the tools and setup you have
