Patrick, Thanks for the great info. I really probably is more reasonable
to go with the cat back and headers. I already have a Gibson cat back,
power pulleys, and a FIPK air filter, I guess the next thing to get will be
the headers. One quick question. Is it better to use the stock catalytic
converter or should I go with a high flow one?
