How do you like it?

almost like stock except its got a good purr to it. drones around 2000-3000rpm, not to bad. it does stick out about 3 inches so eventually down the road ill have to hack off a little bit. overall im liking it. cant tell if its affected anything in the way of acceleration or anything but then again i have a N/A so...

I am definitely getting an exhaust cutout because I love the looks it gets when it's that loud. I may have a vacuum leak, but my gauge still reads a little over 20hg, but at idle it starts sounding like it has upgraded cams in it like the loping sounds almost like it's going to stall. The car got over 7 pounds of boost driving to work so I think the cat is the issue along with a leak somewhere. It was only 50$ so I'm taking it off and gutting it. What should I do about the rear 02 sensor? Do I just back it out a little so it's not getting any airflow or what?

For the people against going catless, I'd rather put money into brakes since one of the calipers seized and I think a couple rotors are warped. Then before next June it will have a 3" dp to 3"reputable cat, to 2.5 exhaust with resonator and muffler out the back.

kibim (i think thats his name but the dude from south america with the s70r) posted a thread with a link to a device that fools the rear sensor, I think it just heats up anyways it allows you to run catless but still not throw a cel or go into limp mode

well, obviously, yeah. i love my manual t5, so i'm always looking for an opportunity to drive my car. like, i'll offer to pick up frozen yogurt for my family, just as an excuse to get behind the wheel :)

I really want to do the LED dash conversion :) can't wait. i need T5 and T6 sized LED bulbs, correct??
