I sure would like to hear some more of your setup. I've been considering doing the exact same setup you have, but using headers with high flow cats. Now I'm not sure with your review. I also lol'ed at the "doesn't fart like a Honda Civic".

Where do you plan on sourcing some high flow cats ?

Ooof, I finally have some time to answer your questions.

1: I got the muffler to hang low because I left the 'plate' from the stock muffler in. I thought that's how it's supposed to be done. It may just be inconsistencies in the welding of the muffler.

2: Chrome wheels:

I'm adding high flow cats tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm getting CO poisoning because I have a hard time breathing with a heavy beating heart every time I get out of a long drive. It also DOES fart between 3-4k RPM...

Not happy with this setup at all. I hope I remedy all problems tomorrow.

I'd do some research regarding those headers and cats. There's been at least a couple of members who have reported experiencing CEL's over time. And, I suspect that it has to do with the internals of the cats breaking down over time.
