I just had the JDM Silver bullet cat-back installed with 2 Magnaflow high-flow cats and custom midpipes. All that I can say is this set up is LOUD!!! It sounds freaking awesome, however I don't think that most people would like it if there L was a daily driver. I like loud exhaust but this thing is right on the edge of being too loud but the exhaust tone is perfect. Sounds just like a built big block. I love it!!!!!!!!

Below is a pics of my high-flow cats and custom mid pipes:

ATR (applied technologies and research) has a down pipe set for the lightning. Their number is 864-972-3800. the web site is almost useless. The catalog has a picture of it and it is a real nice mandrel bent pipe that goes between the stock exhaust manifolds and the cat back and it replaces all the stock cat converters. Dale

After I gutted my high flow car sound cats used an air hose and blew all of the little metal flakes out of my garage and into the gutter. I didn't wear a mask and smoked while I was doing this.

I have a KB due any day and have been known to use nitrous. Not sure if I'll lose any time.

HANKFAN,

I was thinking about going with a setup like you have.
What did you do with the 4 o2 sensors?
Any problem with codes?
