A Big Thanks!

Thanks to boloheadrat, chibby goku, and stinightfall for the "mini" install day that turned out to be longer than expected. Stinightfall, $50 sound okay for the exhaust? I've got a downpipe gasket coming in the mail, so should be good. Thanks again!

O. K.,

the motor mounts were my fault. You can't install the metal parts backwards, due to how they mount to the block, but you can mount the rubber parts backward, if you're stupid. I must be stupid. I drove the car today with the exhaust leak (cat-back to downpipe). Drove me crazy. Picked up some universal gasket stuff and made a gasket. Leak silenced. My car still sounds like a super hyped-up Honda. Definately gained some low-end torque, and if this upgrade is like my front-mount, won't know the full effects until a few days. I think the difference in sound is preventing me from really determining the full impact. How cool is it to have smoke billowing from your hood scoop (exhaust wrap)?
If I didn't know better I'd have looked for a fire extenguisher.

Picked up some gasket sheet material

and cut a downpipe gasket out of it. Everything is quiet.
