just a regular 2.25" Magnaflow cat that i bought brand new off one guy for $40

You want to weld the cat as close to the turbo as possible. Too far down and it wont heat up enough and will be useless. Trust me, I welded in the straight section of my exhaust, never passed etest. ;)

I'd bring it to PSI and have them weld in a cat in the downpipe. He should be able to do it.

well decided to go check on the car today first time since september everything looks good

snapped a few pics






also took the driver side A piller and put the gauge pod on


also took the donor engine apart and put it in the car to take to work tomorrow for a nice acid bath and bore to house the pistons once they arrive of coarse lol

will post pics once i get the block back

I love the Craftsman hood ornament. :P

why thank you kind sir lol i think it looks hawt

btw the drive side door panel will be changed back to stock

Damm the headliner and boot look awsome with the navy blue. You really need some aftermarket seats and possibly wheel to finish off the interior.

i think im just gonna reupholster the stock seats to match the interior

That would look good aswell just make sure you price it out first. Cause it can get expensive.
