Shoryuken!
That will almost definitely work.
Yeah, some shops won't ever bother with it. With 100 cell cats, it's not worth it any more anyway though, especially since my cat is built in to my dp.
I have wondered if an evo would have any issues passing with a gutted 3" HFC (visually it would still look like a cat but flow like a test pipe) and also with an ECU tweek to always pass the OBDII test... seems like a hassle-free way to do it anyway. My car is registered in Heber so I don't have to worry about emmisions, but just throwing that out there for those of you who do..

It's almost impossible to screw up the paint with a DA. Rarely will you have holograms that need finessing. Some pro's I read about online use both, rotary for the aggressive polish or compound, followed by a DA to do the final jeweling of the paint.
Let me know if you have any issues.
well, so far so good.... sort of.
I've now installed the plx wideband, vac/boost module, and their multi-gauge. Everything appears to be working properly, but I have some concerns.
Previously I had the cobb sf-intake on the car and I would hit boost cut and throw overboost condition CEL codes. I took the intake off and the problem went away. With the boost gauge in however, I can see that my car is often spiking to 25-26 psi and then dropping back to 19.5 as it smooths out. The 25-26 psi spike is only for a split second, but I believe that split second is still something to be concerned with. During a 5th gear to 4th downshift, I even saw it spike to 28psi under hard acceleration. I want to make clear that these spikes are literally faster than I can see on the gauge sometimes. If I didn't have peak and hold features it would have taken me even longer to notice simply due to how quickly the car backs off.
one of three things is going on: The gauge is inaccurate, the car is boost hunting, or this is simply normal. I do not believe the gauge is inaccurate (T'd at the intake manifold, doesn't output any other erratic or unexpected figures), and I am very reluctant to call this normal. I have a 3port ebcs and I may just install that tonight but tuning for it is a little intimidating to me right now. Any input anyone has on any of this (the boost spiking or the 3port ebcs tuning), would be greatly appreciated.

that is exactly where I t'd in for boost/vacuum source.
