I ran 2.25 inch pipe straight to the cat with a fireball style muffler, Also installed my new white faced full indiglo guages (the pic makes them look green but they are "cool blue" and installed OEM car bra. Enjoy.

I like the overall look, the guages aren't very contrasty though, it's hard to read the #'s... but that could be the camera?

looks really clean man, what are your next plans? i would say lower it and get some smaller tires. i like that muffler, where did u get it and how much?

well unfortunatly lowering it waaaayyyy out of the picture for me, i rounded up the cost to well over $600 and thats becasue i cant put these the struts on myself and would have to have a shop do it, the tires are already only 15" , the muffler i actually got off of Fleabay for about $40 shipped. My next mod i think will be CIA, then Headers and highflow cat. i need to do my plugs wires and distributer also. But like i said the lowering will be out of my grsp even though thats one of the things i wanted to do the most. (sucks not knowing anyone that can do this crap)

PLease for the sake of your car's paint, take off the bra now! .. I can't even begin to describe the damage mine did to my cars paint.

remove the bra. it will damage the paint like nothing else. it is the worst thing people can do to a car.

Agreed, everytime I took mine off it was damp and full of stones that scratched the paint.

Edit: Didn't you put that on to cover up damage?

The only thing that you may have a problem with is loading the strut into the spring, but that you can take to a shop and they can load the struts into the springs for you. After that all you really is some basic tools, Jack stands and a jack and your in.
Hope this helps

i know the bra is not the best for the paint guys but i have good reason for it, if you look at my car domain site you will notice that i have some front end damage that i haide in most of my pictures, this includes damages to the hood. The main point of the bra was to hide that hood damage.

I've never been a fan of bra's but the black/white contrast makes it stand out, great job on the car

I used to have a bra...don't miss it...but it looks halfway decent and will save your paint from rock chips.

if u want to lower it right with the best things, it will cost more. but if u really wanted to lower it, get some cheap springs or coilovers, if u need help doin it, i can tell u everything o do, it is reaelly easy and uses simple hand tools, except spring compressors which u can rent for sheap.

well i just foun out from my friend whom i bought this from that he has changed the struts on this car, so he knows how to do it, he rented a compressor as well, so once i can get some fundage this ill get him to help me. its not the #1 thing on my priority list ATM though, a few other mods id like to do first.
