Wow, looks fantastic! Tell us more about:

1) performance of the new clutch. how does it compare to stock?

2) Sound / performance of Jetex muffler, really looks great! How is sound and drone?

3) How you get past smog (or don't you have that in WA?)

thanks!

Thank you very much.
I didn't take pictures of the IMS or RMS, was on a roll and wanted to get it assembled already. It was a dual row, didn't seem like it was in bad shape, car just hit 115k as of yesterday. But I figure I'd change it while the transmission was off, Gives me an ease of mind.

Headers sound great, as far as 3500rpm lets me hear it haha. Still breaking in the clutch.

Thanks a bunch! I worked my a$$ off learning how to do this project!

1- It grabs a bit faster than stock, I had to learn how to give it a bit more gas, rather than not enough, or else you WILL stall out. Don't ask me how I know this

2- Sound is superb compared to stock muffler, nice deep toned roar, on Idle is not even that loud at all. I'll make a vid of the car starting up for you.

3-I still have cats, the fabspeed headers with 200-cell hjs sport cats, and it passed emissions just fine.

Here is a video I just took of the exhaust starting up with a few revs..
1st rev = 2000rpm
2nd rev = 3000rpm
3rd rev = almost 4000rpm
