Done alot kinda in the past few days. I carbon fiber wrapped my hood (by my self) because there was a couple spots that were starting to fade and i got tired of waxing it every week. Most couldn't tell but my OCD would not let it go. next I hated the rear windshield wiper and badges so I pulled everything off, filled the holes and instead of paint, I wrapped it with gloss white. Could never tell it had a wiper or badges. Then I didn't like my white face gauges so back to black I went and a changed all the lights to LED and now everything is light up blue. I did have to do some soldering because of bulb size but everything turned out nice. Then yesterday I thought it was a good time to rip apart my supercharger to re grease all my bearings and make sure everything is working super. I also re-installed my black& white tail lights with 5 finger LED'S which look pretty cool too. I also did a bunch of other odds and ends but I wrote enough here.....

I had 2 larger additional cats installed. I now have 4... :eek:

2 of the bullet style high flow cats and 2 standard larger cats designed for a bit larger displacement motors.

I am due for emissions testing. Though my pcu never set any cel's with the high flows and rear o2's turned on, I was concerned with passing a visual test. Given the volume level my 3" exhaust makes I was certain there was a high possiblity they would check for cats and the high flows hardly resemble cats from the outside.

I also had 1/4 wave resonators installed while I was there.

It seemed noticably quieter but still has a deep rumble. The effect on performance remains to be seen. Boost numbers should reveal any increase in back pressure.

Definitely quieter because the blower whine has become more noticeable @ low throttle positions.

When I get a chance will go through emissions. :uhoh2:
