nice, thanks steve.

then i should be ok. because i am thinking that without a CEL on, the cat should be showing enough of a drop in emissions to make my computer happy.

although, i may need to take you up on those inspection people for a friend.

my only other concern is inspection. do they do a sniffer test in pa if you're CEL free and have a cat on? i guess i have a few months to figure it out.

but i say go for it, it is a good part, and i am happy with it.
Awesome....Soon as I get some extra cash I will buy it and have all my bolt-ons, woohoo! Then it will be off to the dyno...to see what it does.

I have a buschur 3" and it doesnt have a resonator so maybe the weight wont be as bad (its a pretty light weight exhaust)....I guess when I buy it I will find out what kind of trouble I will have bolting it up as well. It looked like a nice piece and for the price it really cant be beat?

Thanks for the info man! I appreciate it....

I read the perrin is 49 state legal....do they give you paperwork stating that?

i don't believe i got any paperwork stating that. i will look through the box it came in again though and check to make sure. i may have just missed it in my excitement to get it on the car

other than that, if have any questions or need help with the install, hit me up. i also have an o2 sensor socket you can borrow if you need.

What is the difference between those meets and the normal meets down at the waterfront? hahaha I think the one at the water front will draw some faces that people haven't seen in awhile.


As for when Dave, not too sure... Hopefully soon though.

To me, any meet is a good meet. The folks that only check here missed the last one that was probably one of the best meets ever.


Definitely thinking a QSL or waterfront meet and greet is in order sometime soon.

Hopefully bring in some of the new blood that is lurking this thread and RW.net and get some folks we haven't seen in a while from the north and west. Maybe even those guys from WV.


especially after I get my new cams in. My car will finally be able to keep up!!


Should be lots of good racing in the area this year. Both sanctioned and not!

The difference between RACERS WANTED meets and over here is that, RACERS WANTED has people that will show up to a meet, and are interested in meetin and hangin with other evo people. I can clearly remember proposing many meets over here just to get very little interest outside of a few, those of wich are on RACERS WANTED. Even if people would say they were in over here , when it was meet day nothin but no-show's, and who is there. RACERS WANTED. I see a few of u guys lurkin on RACERS WANTED but when there is a meet proposed who show's up nobody from this side

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that many of these members have other priorities. Evo meets aren't the end of the world. But i do agree, there isn't a strong commitment to meets.

Also saying RACERS WANTED meets and THESE meets can make the ones who want to come feel not welcome, as if it is some kind of special clan.

Well i think soon we should all just come together for a meet were we can all just "get along." Im also not participating in the racing part. Im more of a drinker anyways. I do want to see everyones rides here soon. it sounds like there are some great cars out there now. I bet this evom site gets a good meet going here soon themselves .

Yeah i agree, those 2-3 hours are great. I never meant to say that you think evo meets are life, i am just saying that some would much rather spend time doing other things. I know we all were like this until we started those QSL meets.

I am sure this summer will have a much better turn out for meets, or so i'd like to think.
