Looks just like a filter wrap?

Removes cat, yet worries about passing emissions. You can't explain that. tongue.gif

It's some material that deflects the "light water". I tested it with running sink water and it doesn't penetrate with the sink on half way open.

Emissions. I worry about. That's why I make sure all these mods are easy to bolt off and put the stock equipment back on. smile.gif

Ahh, that's nifty then. I wonder how it effects the airflow ability of the filter though.

Or just move to somewhere like Alabama and you can remove it all, sell to some poor sap in California, and all is good. tongue.gif

Removing an OBDII cat won't do any good as they're fairly free flowing unless they've been clogged up. Older cats weren't the best design and removing one of them will help somewhat, especially if they've started to clog. Plus you can't remove an OBDII cat anyway without an O2 simulator.

Does it gain hp? No. It just makes it a straighter/smoother flow for the exhaust fumes.

A short and quick video shot of my video after switching over to Meguiar products for the first time. I was using Turtle wax before but I'd say the Meguiar's White Wax is much better than the Turtle Wax Ice paste wax.

I doubt it'll look good. Lol. I like the stock spoiler. No riser or anything.

Soon to be installed! Just wrapped it today and going to spray it tomorrow. Install it next week.

Was saying we only use Meguiar's or Griot's car care products. The one good thing about Turtle wax is you can get a gallon of soap for $5.

Oh. I get it now. Lol. Yea. Turtle wax is more of a budget brand. They're good but they're not on the higher end.

Update: Installed that header but it had a leak at the flange. Wasn't sure if it was the gasket it came with or the flange itself. Either way I put the stock one back on and it doesn't leak. So the stock is staying on for now.

Also replaced my NRG WoodGrain steering wheel for the Grip Royal Sleek steering wheel.

Check the flange surface with a straight edge. Odds are it'd be the el cheapo gasket though.

See, that matches much better than the woody. tongue.gif

Yea I checked with a straight edge and it passed. Im thinking it might be the cheap "alloy" or whatever it is gasket.
