I'm making the move on the CT SB. Hope I get it soon.

Let the mods begin!

I'd like to do the CT catback but I think $1,200 bucks is steep for an exhaust system. Wonder if you can just by the mufflers and resonators. I don't care about having a stainless steel exhaust system. I'l see if anyone else has posted and done the same thing or if they went with some other aftermarket muffler/resonator setup.

After that I'd go headers.

Would it be compatible? You'll probably need FPR, higher fuel pump..and whatever else its supposed to come with.

they're not exactly welded on, they're cast into the head. here Ill show you.



High flow cats are the way to go but ESP is no longer our vendor.

Not saying you cant purchase from him, but I do know they're expensive.

already did that, i've been talking to the seller. Everything is included except the icebox which he is still using, just w/o the SC. He's even throwing in an optima yellow top, i already have one of those though so i'd just resell it.

In case you were wandering about Funkee....

He has bought a weed-eater a couple of weeks ago and was so excitied about it, not only did he "mow" most of his yard with it he chopped through his internet cable. Can you imagine a sauve polish dude in a wife beater & shorts terrorizing the neighborhood with a weed-eater at full tilt, K&N sticker and all? Its one of those things you have to see to believe.
