Sounds aggressive Dave. Now all you need is a roll cage to mount your video camera to

LOL..everytime I kept moving the camera as it was sliding I would hit the zoom button and it would focus in on the windshield. You will get to hear it in person..the videos don't even come close to doing it justice. Are you coming to the even next Sat. in W.LA?

Bara if I was going to do one mod it would be the cats. I did the AWE mufflers first..non much louder than OEM except at low rpm where the AWE's were very bassey, boomy. Then added the X51 headers, they helped give it a more tuned tone but it wasn't until I did the cats did I not only feel an increase in performance but the sound was much more aggressive. If you feel my setup is too loud I would recommend the AWE's with cats or just the cats and a set of X51 headers. Best bang for the buck.

The Borlas, as the Tubis were designed for the OEM cats which probably according to Ian (and I believe as well) accounts for 50% of the silencing that occurs. If I had my way I would like to run 100cpi cats maybe at best 1-2hp but it would add that much again to the bark of the exhaust. I have to say..I think I am within a hair of getting pulled over for excessive noise if I happen to dig into the throttle just a tad to much and Johnny Law happens to be near by.

You should have no problem with getting any sort of code with the AWE HJS cats.

I say just do it. IMO there is no downside to these mods
