Oh haha, yea the garage I was working in doesn't have very good lighting so the pictures are a little dark. Well thank you sir, how you like the AEM? Did you go SR or CA?
lol yeah that's what i was referring to. i bought the car with the SR already installed and it helps alot even with a straight pipe and muffler. Sadly i had to remove the muffler due to it being a "modified exhaust" :stop: but that won't stop me from getting a muffler kit that's legal here in wa.
 
I just bought the 60mm Skunk2 cat-back exhaust, here in IN there is no regulation. Did you get pulled over or why'd you have to remove your exhaust?
Yup, pulled over right when i turn into my apartments late at night. He said it was an "modified exhaust" so he gave me a ticket instead of a fix it ticket. What i did was put the stock exhaust back on and took pics to see if i can get my ticket cleared up of lower the ticket amount. Good thing i took the stock exhaust when i bought the car or else i would've pay extra for another one
 
Man that sucks, didn't even give you a warning? I take it that it must have been really loud? We also don't have "fix it tickets" here in IN, or at least I've never heard of them.

I'm picking the 60mm Skunk2 sometime later today whenever Tru calls me. I'll post some pics and a vid in the exhaust threads so check it out. Hardest part is trying to get the 3 rusted bolts off the cat/midpipe flange :/ I've already soaked them in PB Blaster all day today.
No warning at all bro. My car was loud ahahah.

Sounds good. I'll be sure to check that out because I'm looking to get another exhaust, not too loud and doesn't look like rice.
 
Well, talking about loud, you know the 3 bolts on the back of the cat that are like almost impossible to get off because of rust? (Well for me it was that way) Anyways, I couldn not get them off and I didn't have a torch available so I took it to a shop and they torched em all off, well my mid pipe just hung until I got home. Now that was loud!

Anyways, I got done installing the 60mm Skunk2 today, I'll post something tonight.

BTW, where you located?
Nice, I'll be sure to check it out after work. They are pain in the ass if it's still a virgin ahah. I'm located in Kennewick, WA about 3 hours away from seattle and 4 hours from portland.. right in between.
