don't waist your money. you think it will 20 bucks. plus hangers (chepos, they break) adapters, and clamps. just keep lookin on ebay for a deal. my advice.

what if i just cut off my mufflers and put pipes where they were? one of my friends did it and it sounds pretty good? and like i said it will be very temporary? do you think it will sound bad?

It will sound like ***. And hurt your low end torque levels.

yeah its the best bet. i don't know if it was you i told earlier but theirs an slp system going for like 150 on ebay. check ebay and craigslist daily.... youll find a deal. my opinion... never spend money on something that your gonna spend more money on later. no what i mean.

i had the lms1 on my o4 with no cats..... i liked it.. BUT IT WAS LOUD! (had a baby and the wife let me start over with the 92 thats on the pic) you could keep it cool at low rpm's but HOLY $H!T when you got into it. 1/2 a mile people will hear you.
