Done. It sounds amazing. Just fantastic. A real racecar sound. Heres some pics and video. I used my camera with the video function, so its not the best quality sound. It sounds a lot better when your actually driving. I will get some flybys later. I prefer to only have the valve open about an 1/8th or 1/4, its plenty loud and you get a "tighter" sound.

I sure hope the heat near that wire near the cat doesn't cause anything to melt.

BTW, the Utube files don't seem to be available.

I put heat sheilding around the wire like the sheilding around the muffler so it should be good. Ya, I just uploaded them, give them time.

Oh ya, I paid $40 cash to get all the pipe cut and welded. Pretty good for 2 "Y" pipes and install.

Sounds LOUD.

Just drove my box with Che's headers and aftermarket exhaust and I don't think I'd want it any louder than I have it now. I draw as much attention driving down the road as any ricer that's floorboarding it. Difference is that when they see me they keep their eyes on the car.. the ricer is always ignored

Sorry bogg, could be just my laptop speakers but that sounded just awful. If I heard that sound without looking at the car, Porsche would be the last thing I'd guess. But as we all say here, I'm happy if it makes you happy.

Sounds similar to what mine did when I had nothing but the headers on. Very loud and raspy. For the 5 minutes I drove mine like that, there was definately a loss in power.
