sounds sweet, custom is definatly the way to go for overall cost effectiveness vs power gains. Need some pics, would definatly like to see your exhaust system.

Pics. Reminder, the car is still dirty. It's set up for Auto X (STS class) :
Dirty...
The Progress Springs lowered it about 1.8
Notice the Magnaflow muffler tucked-in (no tip no bling) and the Whiteline adjustable sway bar.
Custom headers. They feed a 2.5 collector. The whole exhaust has given me some much needed torque, and it sounds mean.
Konig Heliums wrapped with Yokohama AVS ES100 tires in 205/50VR15. I commute to work in this car, so I need street tires. The front brakes are larger (10) 00 Mirage discs/calipers/brackets with Hawk HPS pads.
More pics to follow as soon as I wash it

Wow! Nice ride.
I wish I could get a carbon hood for my ride, but ithat would move me to a different class. The only way to lose weight at the front while staying STS legal is to install a lighter battery. Going from a 40 lbs. battery to a 12~15 lbs. one is a serious reduction, more than most carbon hoods can do. Or I can get the lighter battery and move it to the trunk.
BTW, I would like to score a set of Evo 4~6 front seats. Any idea where to get them?

Adam! I saw you at the DC Evo club bbq but I was wondering who you were. I'd love to talk to you about the swap and do some reading on the work you've done.
