Default Parts on the way!

Just spent my tax return on some mac lt headers, lethal performance catted x pipe, and sss adrenaline cat back. I can't wait to get them installed! Anyone have any tips on installing the headers?

it will suck to do the headers unless you have some mechanical skill and a lift.

I have a room mate who's done lt headers before and I fix f-16s for a living so I feel like between the two of us we can handle it in a weekend. If not my cousin can hook it up at his shop... But werious question time... Every website seems to be backordered sss adrenalines and I keep getting my card refunded so does anyone know of a good cat back that sounds pretty similar to that? I've been researching for a solid 3 hours today and haven't found a thing.

Listen (read) closely....either drop your K member when you do it, or pay a reputable shop.

As far as a comparable exhaust set-up, I'd say look for a clip with SLP LM2s but there's not a single one on the net with LTs/cat X. You can check out my clip (LTs, cat x, powerflos) in the exhaust sticky. Still good power making straight-through flow, just a nice deep tone.

EDIT: by the way, congrats! You'll love the sound, and the extra 30-40 hp.

I'll go with Rygi, SLP LM2. Yes all SSS catbacks are on backorder at this time.

I think the steeda catback is the same thing or very similar. My vote is for a Borla stinger catback or make your own Corsa db catback!

I was think slp's but my room mate has it on his mustang and I think it might be kinda gay sounding the same driving down the road lol. I went with magnapacks, so hopefully everything gets here by friday so I can take the whole weekend off and get it done. I'll be sure to post a clip before anything else!

Right on man. When she's done get a nice sounding clip in the exhaust sticky!
