J already has a cat behind the Jpipe...just don't get the V3 and you can get a high flow one of those, or keep it stock.

Be afraid of the j series rasp...it's fkng bad.

So I'll look at it this weekend and MAYBE order the necessary parts for a later time.

Thanks though, I don't foresee any issue except that I checked in my tools and couldn't find my brake bleeder and I'd like to swap out the fluid that's in there. There's a few tools I somehow managed to lose in a 10 x 3 space of shelves. I blame having to bring everything down from my 4th floor apt.
hmmm... since you have no e-brake, you can only do one side of the car at a time, as opposed to doing both fronts and then both rears. Well, you can do the rears, but if you jack up the front of the car, it'll roll on you, lol.

I suspect it's likely just your e-brake cable that is loose or snapped. The brake shoes should still be fine unless the previous owner was sliding around in the winter, lol.

I have chocks, which I use if I'm working on a car whether it has a working ebrake or not. I don't want to rely on that alone and have an ebrake snap on me. I'd rely on the parking pin on an AT 1000 times before an ebrake haha

I don't know what's wrong with it. Cable isn't loose or snapped, I'm thinking rust did its thing and fucked with the spring or whatever. It happens all the time to cars here. I'll see whenever I look at it. Prob not much, but I don't really care

No, I know. I use them too, but I never fully trust them. I figure with ebrake + chocks, you're all good. Relying on just one makes me nervous. Could be because I'm a Tacoweiner, though.

I'd rather use chocks than the ebrake. I have these huge rubber chocks made for trucks. Like $20 ea but they're good for a lifetime.

why not just put another ramp on top of the ramp so that you can relieve pressure off the first ramp and then remove the wheel...

Don't think I know that lol?

Waaaaay too late on the V3 though - I bought it way back when Richie was having the Black Friday sale

I was thinking of the PCDs because of potential wideband placement if I stay NA, which the HFPCs would royally fuck me on

Welp, PCDs and a Random Tech Race Cat it is

Best flowing cat I could find, should solve both the smell issue and the rasp issue, and I should have significantly less heat issues to worry about near the heads

I think this calls for a beer... or two
