Agreed. Though it's not my car. If it pleases you, more power to you.

is it possible to make your 2.5 sound deeper? i want mine to sound less "weed wackerish" even if it isnt loud.

You will not get the CEL if you install the little extra piping and extend the wires for the o2 sensor by the downpipe. I skipped this step and threw the light, not too big of a deal but a lot better than messing up the wiring. I'm not good at all with the electrical stuff

to make it sound deeper add a resonator. Preferably a straight through design so there's minimal restriction. It cancels out most high frequency sounds resulting in a more mellow low toned exhaust note.

yeah- i have no idea wtf to do w/ the alternator still lol-

bolts- i meant washers tht hold the exhaust manifold on. ive unloaded an entire bottle of wd 40 and half a bottle of releasing agent lol plus my lower heat shield bolts are rusted and stripped so uhh- i can keep those on when i take the stock header/exhaust manifold off right? lol and i think imma need a lil more help w/ the alternator.... bleh
