Thanks mate make sure you post pics of yours when greg updates your dash:thumbsup:

i wouldn't covert it as the autos are $2 grand more than the manuals... but i have had manuals and wanted the 6 speed auto... plus they are quicker than the manuals;)

I will be removing the hotdogs soon and replacing them with just straight thru pipe.... hoping for better (deeper) sound don't think it will up performance by much.....

Do you know of anyone else who's done this? Are you not worried about it droning - especially being an auto?

I agree. I get sexually aroused every time I wash or wax those front guards - mmmm. :yeah:

lol at the front guards.....

At the back Dave near the rear mufflers ( which i have replaced with high flow mufflers that are 2.5) are 2 small sections of pipe that go from 2.25 to 2 then back to 2.25
(they look like little hotdogs) removing them should free the car up a bit more and give me more noise.... for the cost of 1 hours labour at my exhaust place..
If it sounds sh1thouse i can put them back in...

Its basically the same as a catback as they don't have them the only difference will be the center muffler which is basically flow thru anyways...

I am willing to be the guinea pig if required.....;)
