My car, that is ... picking the 'Hawk up this Saturday ...  finally, the fuel tank will not leak anymore, the rusted/stained parts are cleaned, primed and painted, STB is in, new A-arms, rear diff axle bearing replaced and quiet ... can't wait    Oh, and some minor engine upgrades might be able to gain me a tenth or two on the quarter ...

Just hoping I don't rival your dB levels with the new setup

Garry, you have cats and the (sort of) stock exhaust, no need to worry.

Home & base-tuned Car is running pretty nice already ... still got to take care of the idle, but got all my BEN's mostly in the 1% range around desired AFR ... only needed 4 reflashs in total to get there Sound is pretty decent, at low RPMs it's only got a low growl, definitely wakes up around 3k or so Really want to get it on the track and see what it does ... Only downside is the new exhaust is touching the ground when I pull into my driveway ...
