I live in wasington, and as long as you can pass emission test they don't check,but if you fail for any reason,you'd be screwed as far as any help.
let us know how it goes as far as install and what it sounds like.

depending on local laws straight pipes are nice and sound good but maybe illegal check your laws and if they are go with flowmasters they are about as good as you are going to get with the precats in there too

don't waste your money on a TB... thats what i read and heard. get a CAI, you got the exhaust, and a tuner... those seem to be the best "cheap" performance on a gas engine. after that you're in supercharger territory.

Foreman: I hope you put in the wiring for the amp/sub while you installed the head unit...If not you will have to redo some of the work (unless you splitfrom one of the back speakers).
