eh you'd be surprised how clean it will stay considering that half the mess isn't even where snow and salt would be able to get

and you could just paint it black, just plastic look is ugly IMO

It is getting better....

Now find an intake pipe online like Ebay or something... Get rid of that rubber s**t... No need for a nice intake but that one looks bad....

I personally would get a cheap pipe for like 10-20 bucks (but NOT the ones that you piece together) and get an AEM Dry Flow Filter for it....

Also I want your headlights when you get new ones.... Please =) I will send you a label to ship them to me? Im serious

could always be painted purple or something to go with the rest of your car

Yea that would work... I wouldn't do Purple though, I would stick with subtle touches like the fender bolts and radiator stay with purple... I would paint the tube black or red to match the VC

Well yea kinda, unfortunately im still messing with it cause the header doesn't line up totally straight so it leaks, and the o2 sensor isn't in so idk its rusted in so im not sure what to do there. And you better give me a couple bucks for em if you want to keep them hah

You didn't take it to an exhaust shop yet?????

AS far as the O2 sensor which one you need? The one down by the cat? You should use some PB Blast on it for a few days and see what you get....

As far as the headlights... Hey you said that they were trashed, I just want them to experiment and not worry about messing them up, I can send you 2 dollars, sounds fair to me =) lol

agreed, should have been to the exhaust shop a long time ago if you didnt know exactly what you were doing lol and the pb blaster, i told him to try that when he was taking the stockers off, why didnt you get it?! lol

werent you going to get exhaust work done last week? they'd probably do the header cheap if you were doing the rest of the exhaust

lol bay work is practically free, just take a long ass time and is boring. Tucking my bay was probably the shittiest thing i have ever done.

I would think they would do it cheap since they have to work with that area anyways. just get a cat back and do it right the first time. Ive found it cheaper to go to a shop to get a custom one made and just pick up my own muffler, cat, etc

definitely cheaper to have them do custom unless your looking for stainless, that could be a different story sometimes.

and engine bay stuff is just paying for some degreaser and a rag, then its free from there ha

God damn it 2$ you cheap sob lol jk but ill think about it. And its the 02 off the top of the header, like before that cat. And yea yea I'll talk to the old man about getting the exhaust done somewhere (Speedy's-Mitch haha) but i don't want to spend 300.. Hopefully just the piping wont be that much. And maybe if i get some time this weekend ill clean it up :guns:

That was for them to make and install my header back in 2.5 inch stainless steel. So most likely it wont cost you that much.
