Noooooooooooooo!! I spent a few hours to tune my exhaust gas to smell like Korean BBQ!

xhengmanx: if your going to make your car legal then why are you getting a helix downpipe? just asking thats all. also they do great work and kevin knows his stuff really well. other then myself kevin would be the only other mechanic i would let touch my car.
I was going to go with the Helix catted DP, not the straight DP they say it has a 200 cell cat so i figured that would work.
I wish I had a place to work on my car and store a spare exhaust, and get a cheap stock to throw on and off. I was only able to bring a limited amount of tools out here.
Looking for some kind of a compromise from loosing my 3" RSR and trying to become legal. I'm thinking if I get the Cobb access port added it might adjust my fuel so it will not run so rich to, might help with passing smog.
Right now just still trying to get the cash together.

i see. are you just going to get smogged then register in cali? or does it have to be inspected? because inspection will fail you if you get any type of downpipe. but i say put your rsr on the side. buy a stock wrx exhaust. i have a full turbo back that i dont mind lending to you. all you have to do is just get autohq to install it and pay them the labor.

We should have taken a picture of us unloading that JDM 6 speed out of my backseat.
That would have been a funny picture.
