Today I got the last of the aftermarket parts for the external overhaul.

Kmax Sides, BC2 Rear and the MS Front

Couldn't get it flush to the car because of the mudguard, but I really like them. Excellent quality too.

Hopefully she'll go into the shop next week or the week after. Depends on when they can schedule the bodywork/paint.

Yeah I just had my Monza exhaust and SS Autochrome headers put in a couple of weeks ago.

Tomorrow I'm hoping it will be a nice day so I can put in a CAI and an oil catch tank.

I spoke with the body shop today. Looks like my car will be going in at the beginning of June. I'm pretty excited =D

It sounds awesome 99% of the time. On very rare occasions when I slam the gas, I get a tinny sort of rattle for a short burst. Pretty annoying.

It may be because the car doesn't have a cat on it right now, so we'll see if it changes once I get one put on. After that, if it's not fixed, I may try and swap out the tip.

The catback has a resonator built in.
