Have someone drive your car with you standing outside. I found out its not noticable when you're driving the car but you hear more of a difference from outside.

jsut the exhuast needs a new gasket(triangle type) Its very easy to install, just note that the cat is VERY heavy compared to the testpipe. It surprised me when I took it off.

$3 anti fouler plugs from Autozone. do a search for "mechanical O2 sensor" and you should find it. If you need more help, just pm me

Ahh, good point...I'll try that one of these days, but first I need to find a person whom I can trust driving my S
