so i got hooked up w/ some (almost free) parts...
found a dood on craigslist selling his wagon w/ aftermarket parts.....
i emailed him asking if he'd part out.
he said that if I paid for labor, he'd swap out w/ my stock parts.
bottom line:
I rec'd:
- Helix UpPipe
- Helix Downpipe (cat)
- Borla Hush
we met in Fremont where Devon and his boy Mike took care of the install / swap.
no problems / and fast turnaround time...
early Christmas gift for me

what are you going to do when it needs a smog check now that you gave that guy your stock cats???
even though that is a catted down pipe it wont pass the visual test ..smog techs know what to look for on modded subys
and california is cracking down on modified cars unfortunately
