well thanks to aaron and matt i got my exhaust installed this weekend
here is what she started like
here are some pics from the header install
thanks to
heres where the baby came from! if anyone remembers the post matt made in off topic
here i just couldnt quite reach to get those bolts off the old manifold
so we jacked me up
and sometimes tall people need help too! haha
new header and old mani
and she is finally in!
and here is matt's (ecotecpower) car in winter version
and here is his ridulously good looking trunk setup
thanks for looking and the car is running great now, had everything else installed, the exhaust has a real low tone
the guy are the exhaust shop didnt want to use my stock tip because it was small, so he put this one on, and i think it flows will with the lip kit
bad thing is, they did a shafty job putin it on, its real ugly if you look in the tip
but oh well, i love the setup, and i can feel some top end gains but now im getting a lot more attention from other drivers, whcihc im unsure if i like yet!
thanks again for looking!
cool man, hows it sound? the header is alittle tricky to put on if you didnt know to take the dipstick out which i had to do on mine.
Thats a nice trunk settup!

Your funny brian LOL Glad everything is working out for you. Now just make up your mind on your body kit
Man....looks great but I would nut-slap the guy that installed the tip like that. I would personally go with a nice Flowmaster tip like this one
here.
good work man... really like the trunk setup too

i agree with the tip, it looks good from far but far from good!
but i really do like the style of the tip, i would have never thought of that kind and im really likeing it
Yeah I like the style of the tip too, but the way it was put on there seems kinda janky. I'm definitely liking the way you car has progressed. Keep up the good work.
about that trunk set up, when you invert the subs like that how do you figure out the size of the box that you need, what kind of cubic feet would you need for something like that?
looks nice.... very nice...
and last time i saw Matts trunk it was all wood framing still
it looks very nice
Everything looks great, but didnt that guy at the exhaust shop basically just ruin that brand new muffler of yours by crushing it to fit that tip? looks like the output got pinched down pretty bad. kinda limits your choice on future tips to oval, don't you think?
as for the trunk setup question, i dont know, you would have to ask matt
but no the muffler tip is fine, they welded a piece of 2.25 piping on and crunched that so it can just be cut off

You just go with the same size box you would if the subs where inside the box. As long as one side of the sub is sealed thats all that matters.
Damn i envy you man,you have the navy blue car i wanted(i got black)a Gm S/c with a 5 speed(i got auto).
Thats one nice pile you spent on the S/C alone
Hope you like the new exhust,but if i was doing it i would of made it a dual exhust
BTW,this has nothing to do with the install,but with the jack
how tall are you
^^ Brians car is a auto. He's only like 5'4" lol
when can i expect you guys to do that comedy act on my car

damn nice, looks like yall had fun doing that and it came out nice, but off topic... i dont like girls taller than me, thyere intimidating... i hope u dont got that same problem, cuz ur just about screwed lol
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
i had lots of toys when i was young.slinky,etc.but once i found my penis,that was all she wrote
dude, there are chicks below 5'4 dont worry, but i dont mind a tall chick now and then though!
It was fun. But damn it was cold LOL
Looks good Brian. What series of Flowmaster you running? I have a 40 series on my sedan and it is pretty quiet till I hit the boost. Has a nice low tone that I like.
I can't beleive it, Aaron has hair! I am used to seeing him with no hair. LOL
As for Matt's trunk, looks better in person than in the pics.
how difficult was it to install the header for someone that isn't a mechanic
ryan, it is a 40 series, and i think it loud at about 2500
man the stock exh mani doesnt even look too restrictive.
