Naw i didnt know the stock pipes were aluminized, that does make a difference in my decision. Im orginially from jersey and with the roads and winters out there stainless would be worth it. I guess im thinking about the possiblity of me going back home and hoping my spoiled car will survive.

I guess I need to find someone with the know-how to do the y-pipe mod for me. Is the high flow y-pipes on spmotorsports.com a clean bolt on, if so i would just buy that and bolt it on myself to save me the hassle?

Are there any how-to's on the homemade heatshield? I was wondering if anyone lined theirs with insulation of some sort. Or possibly a cutout pattern for the aluminum sheets (assuming thats what they use).



Any aftermarket y-pipe should be a direct bolt in should you decide to go that route. as far as the heat shield, it would be better to use a material that will not conduct heat as much, such as plastic or rubber. Many people have used cut-up wastebaskets with success. I got mine from a board member John Miks am very satisfied.
