David,

Can you tell us more about the exhast system you put on? Where did you get the headers? Did you do anything to the mufflers? the originals are are really restrictive. What about the cats? Did you dump them or replace them?

Thanks,

Doug
I got the headers from a regular on this list, I don't even remember hist name but I know this string has his response to me somewhere. It must have been just for an older model but they are significantly heavier and much better made then what I had. Unfortunately I can't dump the cats since we have emission testing where I live as well. I just modified the pipework for them and put in supports so that the sidepipes didn't just hang all the weight off of them as well. It's been several years now and I see no signs of stress and since I actually found a gasket that fits I hope that I won't even have to replace them every year. It's only been a couple months but I see no signs that it's leaking like it always did.
