For anyone thinking of buying a tsudo cat back, don't do it. It's not worth the $250. Ya it sounds ok, but the exhaust hangs so low! The rear 90 before the axle literally scrapes on speed bumps and the car is stock height. I'm disappointed I didn't invest in a zzp catback with this money.

I love my zzp catback. the resonator is huge though and hangs a bit low, but it isnt a design flaw. which is why it sounds so good

Installed my zzp catted downpipe and shorty header. With my current cat back, it sounds the same except from a dead stop. Sounds good. Next will be purchasing a wide band this week so I won't have two dummy o2 sensors in the bungs.

Since I'm not going to use an lsj alternator, do I still need to use an lsj alternator mount? I'm looking at the parts list that gene had made and he lists bolts that connect the tensioner to the alternator bracket.

I just read on a forum that people swapped to discs in the rear and kept the 4 lugs by using older saturn parts? Anyone know about this?

After much thinking and reasoning with myself, I decided it's not the best decision to supercharge my daily driver. I need a reliable car to get to work and school and I cant commute with my old ford or lifted blazer. So, my parts will be for sale soon. I am painting the supercharger black because it's spotted with bare spots I sanded off. I do plan on lowering my car and make it look good.
