Heck my old Cordoba was louder than that at idle. And my truck is a little louder at idle than yours.

I'm feeling it should be different once I get everything in place. I'm removing one of the 3 cats as well as the resonator.

I still have 2 cats on my truck. But not for long.

I always enjoyed some new or strange. But not nuts.

They're Falken brand.

It's a stretch for the car, but after setting the ride height down a little bit:
(Mine will be gunmetal without any accent color)

Please God, tell me that they are a smaller diameter.

Surprised?

Most definitely. I'm sticking with the 16" to fit the tires I have now. I was wanting to go up an inch or two, but the budget factor wouldn't work out well with new tires.

That seems like a win/win to me.

Injector is in, and from what I can tell, the misfire seems to be a thing of yesterday. Gonna hook it up to the IDS tomorrow to confirm.

[Austin]

All is well with the misfire of yesteryear.

Polished up the muffler tips since they're off of the car.

 

[Ridgerunner]

You need to send those mufflers to me Austin.
