Well, as for the cats, I'm moving to California in January, so that's no bueno.

The exhaust caused me a lot of trouble here in VA, so I sold it. I'll be buying an even higher quality, and slightly more street friendly exhaust when I get out west.




God, I wish I would've taken a tunnel vid before I took it off though...Topik can attest to the ridiculousness.

It was pretty ridiculous. Whenever he was driving towards our neighborhood in the evening I could hear him coming for a good 5-10 minutes before he got there. Sounded really sick though.

It's kinda the same engine, no?

More or less, the M1 just has individual trumpets instead of a plenum over the ITBs, a sweet equal-length exhaust manifold, and in the M1 Procars the ITBs were replaced with slide-style throttles.

There's more to it than that, but they are pretty much the same thing.

That's what I thought. I couldn't remember if it was a 6 or 8 in there and I'm too lazy to google.

Indeed. I can only assume it's the poor audio quality of the video, that's adding that extra bit of... ridiculousness.
