IMHO, hi-flo cats will make more of a difference in how loud the car is than the headers themselves.

I have one last set of headers and catted connectors left from my last group buy.......$1200.00

I know. If I do headers and/or hi-flo cats, I'd have to put on something to reduce the volume........not likely

Lucky for me, I have no extra money right now.

I hear you.

Would you believe it, there's a guy who must be Luke's clone over on my DD's forum. He can shake someone down just as well as Luke can. Uncanny resemblance.

My car feels SOOOO much better with the new diff bushing. I will probably get Pissn custom or Lukes UUCs once they are available. I also am planning on drag bags to try to control the movement even more to save the bushing.

Of course I did throw an o2 code on my way to work this morning and not really sure why. Its showing 1 bank only, probably running rich. My belt does continue to occasionally slip of the tensioner pulley. I need to call Magnason again and try to get the additional part to resolve that.

I've had no belt slip in the 1500 miles since the install with the extra tensioner bracket and gatorback belt.

Was is Bank 1 #1 or Bank 1 #2 and why do you think you're running rich?

I didn't even put the bracket on the tensioner. It wasn't part of the instructions, so I ignored it. Thought it was another extra part

Haven't had any problems with the belt though.

Rob, glad to hear from you again so soon!

Of course, you gotta keep your eyes on eBay, but quick question: Are you constraining yourself to new only? Or, are you receptive to a good used one?

EDIT: Oh, btw, I ain't sellin' mine ... NO WAY!!!

Well I took it into my tuner today. Bank 1 was showing lean and he tweaked on it. Said he should have reset something last time he reset the MAP/MAF and didnt. He mentioned that it felt like it was either missing or the mounts were rough. I told him my money was on the mounts since they are officially garbage.

On the way home on the twisties I was behind a Terminator Mustang having a little fun, waiting for the road to go to 4 lane so we could have a little more fun when after we both made a 4 car pass I got a blinking check engine light. Scared the ish out of me since blinking light is BAD NEWS. Well I immediatly pulled over and pop the hood and hear a loud sucking sound. Turns out my intake tube had worked itself loose from the gerry-rigged piece of hoce tht connects to my filter heat shield. Since I always carry my handy dandy small ratchet/wrench/screwdriver set with me just for such instances I was back on the road in under 60 seconds and the light went away.

Couldnt find the Mustang after that, to many cars in between us.

And you thought you'd escape mod hell by not installing the maggie yourself...

If I had done the install myself my V would still be sitting in the garage and the Maggie would most likely be through the windshield. There would more than likely be numerous baseball bat marks all over the car and engine bay too.

I am not what you would call a patient man.

Glad to hear there were no major problems though.

Wooooohh. Finally made it through this thread. Very interesting. After a few pages into it I had convinced myself of getting one, but quite a few horror stories which kind of worried me. But now it looks like they don't make them anymore and the cheapest I can find is a lil under 7k's.

Youch! Maybe I'll pass. I thought I had seen them cheaper in the past, but I guess that's what happens when they get discontinued.

Too bad, sounded like loads of fun.
