Joyess Days :-)

So it had been a month since my engine blew. Borrowing cars, hitching rides, longboarding long distances. **** sucked man! And on Friday I finally got my baby back! And she's a brand new car. Between the street port, or the SAFC II, or the new tires... maybe even the LSD Whatever it is, I love my car, and am so happy to have her back. On Saturday I spent over 7 hours shampooing the carpets, scrubbing every inch of the interior, washing, 2 coats of wax, cleaning the brake calipers, cleaning the filter. I mean once I'd finish one task I'd just wanna do another. Sorry, sure none of you care, but I'm the happiest motha f&%$#er alive right now!



Now for a question or two. Now that its ported it sounds mean as **** in idle, and it does idle pretty low (which it should for a bit til it breaks in) but once I open the throttle, the pissed off bee sound is still there. I can only think exhaust right now. Will that just completely **** with my idle? I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna do a single custom 2.75 inch piping down the passenger side, random muffler (somethin somewhat stock looking) and prob RB header and pre-silencer. Seems like a good enough combo. But yeah, how will that drive with the port?

sounds great that you got her back. a single would be quite loud with a streetport (depending on what exhaust, like the n1 style muffler). a resonator and a bonez highflow cat with rb headers should be alright.
i have a borla exhaust its 2.75in. i think. its a dual though. pm me if ya want it.

Should be fine especially with the presilencor, so is it N/A or TII? If it's TII I'd say go full 3 inch.

Congrats on getting it back I remember how good it felt when I pulled my FC out of the garage for the first time after months of fixing and replacing stuff. I can't imagine how awesome it must be with a brand new engine and everything.

Pissed off bee noise is an n/a. I'd say stay with the single just add a bonez high flow cat.
