Very nice

$50 is not bad and you ended up making a little lol

And I can really hear that the car is breathing a LOT better. Next up is the exhaust, but I may have to just do the cat back kit now, and change out the catted H-pipe with an offroad X-pipe at a later date. Either way, the 2 1/2" cat back will be a lot better than the stock Cougar stuff I have on there after the H-pipe right now. I don't think it's even 2" diameter.

Oh the hell with it. Slow, snowy day at work, so what else can I do except run up my credit card bill a little. Just ordered a Pypes off road X-pipe and catback exhaust from American Muscle. This way when this snow finally melts and I drive the Cougar home, my neighbors will know I am coming.

:burnout:

Pypes X-Pipe is on. Finishing up the rest of the exhaust on Monday.

I understand. LOL. One piece at a time. That's how I'm building the Sport. Trying to make the car very functional, but not effect the looks of it. I just found a CD player that also has Sirius XM capabilities and Bluetooth hands free talking by syncing with you phone, and it comes with a mic to hang on the visor or anywhere you want it. I think I need that. I'm sure there are other brands, but I've got some studying to do. Are you upgrading or changing anything else in the interior or under the hood?

Pretty much everything, eventually. I think I have a JVC head unit in there right now. I switch stereos a lot. It has bluetooth and a USB hookup. I don't worry about Sirius on the stereo, I have the app on my phone so I can just use my phone and stream it right through the Sound system.

I also found a 65mm throttle body I had in the garage. I'm going to clean and polish that and port the intake a little. This is all temporary, my car will be in a constant state of flux. I am also thinking going to a terminator somewhere down the road.

The main thing was to get the body and paint done. Now just little tweaks along the way as I get rerady to reupholster the seats. Oh, I also still have to put in that floor shifter I got from you years ago Vinne. :hick:

or these

or maybe something like this

I really wish there were 4 lug turbines in a 17" wheel.
