    I just hope it doesn’t mess up my cats

    I’ve got the V8 burble now that I’ve been after for awhile. Before it sounded like a 350z or something. Still quiet enough to have a conversation too. Debating having my secondary mufflers removed. Should only go up about 5 dB I think.

    Depends on how much oil you got in there, but honestly it takes A LOT of oil to screw up some cats. What you got in there should not and will not damage it.

    Nice!

    My recent setup change. Plan to probably add a cross brace and limit straps. Was on a time crunch so the goal was to get it drivable ASAP. Still needs some tuning. Also those Archive or BAMF hangars would be a nice add on.....

    Do they offer "remote tuning" for that sort of thing? I'll even pay to get tuned up locally if I can find one.
