Dont' forget to wrap that header. How's it treating you though? I've always kinda been tempted to get one, but never wanted to cough up the cash.

I can DEFINITELY feel the difference when I put my foot down. Worth the money. When I was pulling out from a stoplight today, I gave it about 3/4 throttle (I drive aggressive...  ) and it seemed like I flooring it before. Like 3/4 now is full throttle before... Idk, hard to explain haha, but you can feel the difference.

How's it sound? I've been told it's like the intake, how you don't really hear it unless you are in the throttle.

Honestly I didn't hear much of a sound difference at all. I have the stock exhaust, that may be why. The only sound difference I hear is that it sounds like the intake is taking in more air.. Like before I could make my car sound completely stock by just easing on the throttle, but now you can hear the intake even when just barely pressing the gas. Maybe my imagination though, I dunno. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

I want a white celi so bad  You're a lucky guy. Mine's just going to look like a guy who doesn't have enough money for lowering springs so I sit like 4 feet from the ground

Looks great man...I know the feeling of elation at having rims. And you've got an intake, header, more horses out of the box, and 5 gears...lucky guy. Now give that sucker a drop and it'll look finished.

Are all your streets always empty? You always seem to be able to take pics when your car is half turned at a intersection?
