Zippy's 98

Motor back in and time to install the new Gesi cat's.
Marked where we wanted it, cut it, tac'd the cats in place... took the pipe off and finished the welding...
Came out really nice
02 extensions were obviously needed when doing Long tube header's.
Drilled a couple of spots in the trans case to be able to hang the 02 wires up and out of the way.
Came out sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Please excuse the rusty subframe connectors... they'll be coming off for a real set really soon.
Plan to paint the mid pipe after the Torque arm from MM is installed. Might need to do some more exhaust work to fit the Panhard/T.A into the car.
Header's fit really nicely. Do not hang low at all like some other brands we've installed in the past.
Really pleased with how it all came out.
Need to finish cleaning the floor pan... that 0.196pounds of dirt really is slowing me down

So after slugging on it for 2 solid days... we got it back in the car and running again!
Looks great, sounds great... so happy!
I have a Dyno date for July 2nd, going to put some km's on it next week and see what it does next Friday.

Well... tried to get myself some Nitto's for the DECH... but no one around has them.
Went with option #2
Mickey Thompson Street Comps
The only other manufacturer to make a 315 on a 17inch.

So ordered
275/40/17 x 2
315/35/17 x 2
Hope to have them by first thing next week
Shout out to Lou @ Barone Performance for the quick hook up

Nice!!!
I have to sit down with you sometime, how did you stuff a 315 out back??

Slow turd is only sporting 285 out back, was never happy with the look of it.

315's on a 10.5inch rim fit with lots of room. No rolling of fenders required either. Could probably go bigger but rather avoid the headache of rolling fenders!
Plus... the Dech ain't spinning a 275 let alone a 315. #MorePowerNeeded

Interested to see the gains from headers + other mods.
