I just installed my Magnaflow exhaust and it sounds great! Relatively simple to install and it seems a little more responsive in the higher RPM ranges. I am installing my Cosmo CAI and Hella Supertones either today or Sunday. Pics to come!

So I installed the CAI and went on a 150 mile roadtrip. I can say that the response is AMAZING! It was totally worth the money for the CAI and exhaust. My car is no longer a dog on the highway. It's VERY noticable in the 3000-4000 RPM ranges and sounds mean as hell!I've uploaded all my work photos and other random ones here:http://www.facebook.com/album....0be47You don't need Facebook to view them. But if you have it add me!

I really wish I would have spent more time checking out your car during the meet, Tim. I am just seeing your garage and wondering why?! Nice job on the in-dash blue LEDs.
Steelies to the rescue.
