It was a good week

Installed my MIL's for the stupid high flow cats, changed the motor oil to royal purple 5w20, installed the mach 1 fuel door, and tinted the windows myself. And to top it off, the other day my check engine light finally shut off (from the cats).

How hard was it tinting the windows? Got any pics BTW?

But won't the high flow sound better than normal ones? I think I read that from 1 of your posts. Get pics of all you did. All but the oil.

Its not as hard as you would think, it just takes alot of patience. Plus it saved me about $200. The high flow cats in my opinion sound much better then stock, they are louder and give you better sound. I would have an offroad midpipe but i dont want to get pulled over. I do have some pics of the windows and the fuel door, they are in this thread http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=29354.msg532604#msg532604

I have an o/r midpipe and mil's wont' work on mine. I've got a pair sitting right in front of me cause they won't work. they actually make the CEL come on and stay on forever. when i don't have them in I don't get a CEL for about 300miles then it's on for about 5 minutes and go's away.

pisses me off. I'm hoping if I get a catted midpipe then it'll go off for emissions/safety

the windows are 20% all the way around

as for the check engine light, if all your worried about is having it cleared for inspection you can clear it for a short time by disconnecting the battery and pumping the brake twice. Thats what I did when I had the gt. I put a x pipe with high flow cats and the cats triggered the check engine light. I did that which shut it off for about 2-3 days and got my inspection sticker
