Andre,
Thanks for letting us use your shop yesterday. I gutted my pre-cats and Dwight (PanamaSE) put new struts and springs on.
His shop is very nice, all the necessary tools except a welder. I highly recommend a bigger meet there sometime soon.

A big thanks to Andre, for helping me out on my struts/sprngs. Yes, we need to get a meet going sometime. But I don't know about doing springs again, it took us 10 hours to do. By the time we were done, Andre was ready to just about kill me. Thanks alot Andre.

Impressions pre-resetting are a slightly positive gain. Not much noise difference. My main cat is clogged too...but that will be fixed when the SHO y-pipe gets here w/ the hi-flow cat. If anyone wants to gut their cats...I'm your man!
