Hence the reason why I didn't really wanted to go to your party after you mentioned playing sports being mandatory.

ok so i ended up leaving on the exoticspeed pipe and it seems all good, just a bit loud still but i think its because i have a leak between where the pipe connects to header pipe...as well as a small leak between exhaust and mid pipe....i think my buying another flange, that will do the trick but for now im letting it b as im too soar to do anything more=) thanks for all your helps guys and sorry about being so impatient and newbish=) i will post a you-tube on Wednesday prob of it and you can tell me what you think

ok dont yell at me for being a noob at this but i dont think i have a catback anymore. i just got the exoticspeed that they sell here:

http://www.exoticspeed.ca/product_in...e678f96d8e0fc5

so basically it has 1 resonator and rest just pipe.

i got some sort of sealant but pep boys didnt have that one in the red bottle but ima still look for that sealant at kragen cuz i have started up the car yet i just let it dry overnight..

i think i still need the flange cuz its weird like at the connection where the 2 springs are i got 1 screw all the way bolted on and the other has about an inch of space betweeen the pipe and i think if i can get rid that space itll be better. cuz now it sounds kinda weird i guess. decent when idle but bad when reving

the flanges will never touch by the spring bolt, maybe is sounds funky cause its a midpipe on stock catback?

You still have a cat back, its the part that attaches to the end of the midpipe and comes out of the rear bumper. Still stock? Any chance to take some pics of the fitment. Mike is correct where it attaches at the spring bolts there is some space.

Mike sure we can meet up somewhere if you want idc but I'm getting F3 tomorrow
