I'll take some pics of the Mina Exhaust S/S Porsche style exhaust tips. Any tips on how to get them on to the forum? I was hesitant at first to change the 3 " tips. The fact that Mercedes Benze uses dual pipe tips on their Kompressor cars to denote form their none-blown cars romanced me to announce my Jag as a Blown Jag! The Porsche style tips fill the entire valence exhaust cut outs and look too cool; and that they belonged there from the get-go.

Vance580, I'm mulling over wether to do the 1.5 or the 2.5 pulley. I'll let u know. Mina galleries sold it to me for $175. MyBlackcat, I went through two sets of single 3" tips because I feel the same as you: "Nothing better than one big pipe exhaust tip", but the single pipe tips eventually didn't satisfy "me" to fill up that valence exhaust cut-out. I'll post pics of the Porsche style tips (thanks vance580 for instructions of pics upload).

michal, remove the airfilter...on the lower left (radiator side) of the airbox you will see a flap that is actuated to open while under full open throttle. You can remove it by unscrewing the screws holding it in place. This allows more air to enter the airbox giving crisper throttle response with just a little more air intake noise.

You don't want to place the cats too far down stream from the heating capabilities of the engine. The ECU expects certain emission values from the O2 sensors thus may set off a CEL and poor fuel metering. You can place the hi-flow carts approx. 10" down from where they are, against the sloping part of the flloor boards, where the persons feet would rest. This won't necessitate lengthening the O2 wires. You have a normally aspirated 4.0. The set-up you describe will certainly kill your low end torque but make a lot of noise, if that's what yer after? You'll love the sweet sound and throttle response you're stock system will make with the hi-flow cats...two different worlds. Put the hi-flow cats on where I described then work from there. I "messed", and still mess with my STR's exhaust. This is an eerie thread for me cause our good forum friend "Riski" was in this world then. RIP Joe.
