Glad to hear that you're ok. Taking care of your health is extremely important and anything to do with a vital organ is something that should be addressed right away, as you have done. Just glad to hear that you're OK and doing better.
Great work on the exhaust and the intake porting! Should make a bit of a difference and sound amazing!! Excited to see how this turns out!

I have had three different exhaust systems on my 93. The drone had been awful with the one that came on the car when i bought it and the replacement wasnt much better. Though the second exhaust system, which was a factory cat back exhaust with muffler eliminators, sounded amazing. It was just very loud and the drone was not great. The issue is that I have gutted cats. The car came that way and its been difficult to get a sound that is a good compromise between loud and clean sound with no drone. So, I went back to a stock cat back exhaust and the exhaust is quiet with zero drone. Its pleasant to drive, but just a little too quiet. Maybe I will look for some stock converters and put the exhaust with the muffler eliminators back on. Or just leave it and concentrate on other things that need attention.
