Was my first proper mod as well. Have fun. The difference in sound is amazing, especially above 6500rpm.

^ This. I just remember thinking, "and I thought it sounded pretty good before". Coupled with a decent cat-back, people will say (and I quote) "I've got goose bumps

Good work. Next time use the flash, hopefully the pics will not be so blurry.

Also, I predict you notice a decline in your mpg. This is not because the intake changes much, it's because you rev it more to hear that epic noise (at least that's what I found)
