Jake, it looks great. I did the same with my 2000 S. I also like your black wheels with the yellow.

Quite a difference your mods have made. If you ever considered more sound, the secondary cat bypasses sound great with the PSE.

I put headers on my car last month and it made quite a difference. Only 1 CEL in 1,000 miles of driving too. The sound will change a bit too. Higher pitched and not as deep a roar. The primary cats filter high frequency sound. Noticeable power gain. I've tried (1) headers & 2nd cat bypass (2) headers only , and (3) bypass only. All with PSE and the best sound by far in my opinion was PSE with bypass only.

there's a set of clears here in the classified for $800.
you can sell your ambers for about 300 ish on ebay.
i got my litronics locally via craigslist for $1000.
the side markers are cheap.
the rears are about 150-200 i believe

I 2nd that motion. I saw a video of a 986 w/ cat bypass and the PSE.......SOUNDED MEAN!

To be honest I wouldn't mess with the headers on these cars,I think Gemballa is the only company that hasn't had CEL issues with the 00'+ e-gas engines when it comes to aftermarket headers.

Thanks for the support guys!

Tomorrow I've completed transplanting C4S gauge cluster. It is almost done. I'll post pics later.
