well, i finally did it! figured out how to remove the stock headers(DAMN THOSE HARD-TO-REACH BOLTS!!!)and replaced it with RRM headers. thanks to my friend mike(he mostly did all the hard stuff...pretty much everything),i think i'm where i want to be with my car right now, although i still want to change-out the throttle-body. took it for a test run...hmmm. i seem to have lost the low deep throaty sound(which i liked), seems to be in a higher pitch...no,definately in a higher pitch!! other than that, i'm ok with it. as long as i don't rev it up while "THE MAN" is out-and-about. for those who don't know about my upgrades:
1) RRM(Road///Race) rally-spec front strut bar
2) AEM cold air intake
3) RRM(Road///Race) test-pipe
4) RMR(Rhys Millen Racing) axle-back exhaust
5) RRM(Road///Race) headers...newly installed
so after the rims, i definately want to change out the TB, then maybe upgrade the chip with that RRM ECU flash thingie(something like that). supposedly it should help with the upgrades that i have, making them more efficient. if there's anyone that has that up-grade, please let us know if it was definately worth getting! well, thats all for now. let me know what you guys/gals think about my upgrades, all suggestions are welcomed. i'll see you guys/gals on the road, peace...

 

get rid of the axle back and get the Greddy cat back. Your sound will be deeper and your performance will be off the wall. Also, since your getting the TB, save up and get the pistons also.

 

do i really need those piston, i'm not upgrading to turbo. and from what i got from GABRIEL(ROAD///RACE), thats something i wouldn't need to worry about unless i go turbo. i don't know... anybody else think i need to do pistons???

 

If you wanna run nitrous, get pistons.

 

no...no nitro. i mean, besides the TB and chip upgrade, i think i'm done! maybe in the far future(i'm talking past 5 years at least) i might consider turbo! and thats if i still have this car. but for now... no turbo and no NOS.

 

no turbo and no nos = no need for pistons... that is unless you getting some higher comp pistons... dont know if you want to do that or not butyou dont need the ones with drop comp b/c you would lose power.

 

After that tb, you'll have a nice little NA setup there! Congrats. Only things left to do would be a full catback, a downpipe, a new camshaft, and an AFC.

 

whats the difference of a catback exhaust and a FULL catback exhaust?.. Or its just the same?..... And yeah!! Greddy is the way to go!! Those burnt bumper issues are nuthin to worry about according to pearlwhiteoz.. Who has the Greddy.. So yeah, me myself, i ordered the Greddy already.. Im excited!

 

There is no difference between the full catback exhaust and a normal catback exhaust... they're just 2 names for the same thing. Both of em include custom piping from the 2nd cat all the way to the muffler.
