BTW, did any of you have to cut anything to make the headers fit?

 

It is a big fine for a muffler shop to remove a Cat Converter. I beleive it is a federal law. Shops here wont touch it. So if you got cats, no side pipes for you. Unless you want to brave the mattress police and do it yourself. :seeya

Sidepipes are cool!!

 

any cutting to make them fit?????? :confused:

 

No cutting other than a bit of fiberglass and the rocker panel. They need to be trimmed up a bit. Nothing Major.

 

is this cutting noticable if i ever return the car back to stock?

 

The trimming is very very minor, and rocker panels are not that expensive comparatively to alot of things to replace if you chose to do so in the future. :seeya

 

Ill have to disagree a little here. For folks on a budget, the fiberglass panel for the rocket moulding, and the rocker trim strip are expensive. Try about $150-$200 for both

The flip side is that the trimming of the fiberglass moulding is easy, and easy to fix back up if so desired, just basic knowlegde in glassing will get you there. Thats to say, if you have the BLACK fiberglass moulding. If you have th chrome type, its a little harder. Black you just spray paint black over when done.

The moulding strip is a different story. Thats the aluminum strip that is attached to the 'glass moulding. It will either have to be dremeled away for relief, or slightly crushed. That repair is a different story

Not trying to get you away from the idea. Just be fully prepared. Also, check a catalog to see how much those two items cost for your own edification. I cant beleive how much that stuff cost. And its pretty flimsy stuff

One thing not mentioned earlier, heat in the interior is less with side pipes

Last thing as mentioned before. Check with the Smog ***** to see if inspection is an issue.
