    Well good new and band news

    The good is I got my pacesetter!

    And the bad is that I failed emissions, gay. Gonna slap on the stock airbox and take it back, hopefully that will help. I just barely failed apparently. The guy there loved my car so he hinted he would pass me if I came back

    Thats what I thought, apparently my CO2 and all that shit was just barely too high. Maybe restrictive airflow will reduce that? I ran some injector cleaner yesterday to help hopefully. My car is bogging down like hell now too lol.

    Well, to anyone who is considering a pacesetter, DON'T buy it unless you plan on getting a flex pipe. It rattles around horribly. I can't wait to fix it.

    I had stock header and intake on just for the occasion. And I agree, the pictures need to happen. I'll be in Murrieta at the end of summer, moving outta TX sadly.
