    remove the intake screen will cause issues.
    3" pipe will be annoying
    You need a good tune
    k&n intake is a waste of money

    Did you scan?

    Because none of that matters unless you scan and you've checked your AFR under various conditions.

    Ah true.

    I believe there are a few guys trying to convince Will (Overkill) to come to Ottawa for a tuning weekend or something to that effect.

    Might want to check out OQCGP.com for that.

    Also put that screen back in, the flow increase isn't worth the inaccuracy in MAF readings.

    My thread also does not recommend aftermarket mufflers, HUGE useless catback piping, and K&N FIPK's.

    Make your own intake...less than $50.
    Pacesetter's suck unless you plan on putting another $50+ in them to get them welded...buy Speed Daddy's off of EBay for less than $200 and have a new flex put in it. For the 3.4", hopefully your not talking press-on...because that's a nice paper weight...just get ZZP's MPS...and order a 3.6". Then you really wouldn't have to ever worry about scanning...there, I said it.

    I would not run 3" strait pipes to flomaster 44's without at least a catback. I do not like the sound of flowmaster 44's on any car.
    I'm thinking of going to a junk yard and getting the stock cat-back off one of the gps they have my car sounds so much like **** at WOT idle and cruising it sounds alright.
