The header and intake affected low end more than the catback. The exhaust is great, i love it. The intake and the exhaust make the car pull all the way to redline, so well worth the minimal drop in low rpm torque. My car eats stock 2.4s, civic si, etc....

its really not bad man, if its your 1st time doing something to this level, just do your reading and take your time, we all started somewhere.

And for me hunting for the parts and restoring them was half the fun, thats if your into to it like that.

Get the gm build book for SC the 2.2's its a great resource step by step, thou some of the info is outdated it still helps. And get Vince to tune it, he has a couple of us 2.2 sc running around in houston, and we are all running smooth.

well im already trifecta tuned. but i had a tuner from around here do it threw him. which if i could find sum1 in iowa that would be awesome but if not hes gonna charge me all over again to tune my car instead of a cheap retune price. cause he would have to send me the cable. and yes i have the gm book saved on file. and plenty of pictures to help me. maybe once i get moved and get another car so i can take my sweet ole time this winter
