Well I got the exhaust on. Sounds very aggressive, but real mellow. I like it. The header made it kinda raspy, but not ridiculous.

Anyone want pics or a sound clip? It turned out real nice.

Both. I'm more interested in the sound.

By the way, what are the brands and price?

They are ebay header and catback made by a company called Tsudo. You may laugh, but these exhaust parts are very nice quailty. T-304 stainless, huge flanges to prevent warpage, nice fit in factory hangers, tig welded.

I paid 125 for the header
215 for the catback
140 for the o2 sensor (different style bung, needed replaced anyway)

So for 480, I have a brand new exhaust (340 if you exclude the o2 sensor)

All that includes shipping.

Very nice quality if you ask me. Sounds like an apex-i exhaust on a dohc honda.

I'll get a sound clip when I fix the heat shield under the car. The flanges on the catback are much bigger than stock and keep hitting the metal shield on the undercarrige of the car causing a wicked rattling sound

Sounds great at 6400 rpm.

I still have a flat spot around 35-50.

With the higher compression and the new exhaut, i have certainly made more torque, but its still lacking the midrange. The motor is nice at low rpm and when its being revved to 6 grand, but 3k-4.5k rpm still lacks some balls. 2nd gear is so damn long even if i rail the piss outta 1st, it still drops to 2300rpm, right where my car falls into a flat spot.

I'm gonna get some more power once the cams are in, but wont they kill my torque to begin with?

So Im gonna end up with a car with the same tq as stock, but ungodly (for what it is) topend?
