Installed a Stromung cat-back exhaust a few days ago. Yesterday I finally got off my ass and tried to fix an exhaust leak that I've had ever since I bought the car. Bought all new exhaust gaskets from Pelican and it ended up being a broken manifold-to-downpipe flange. I took out 3 bolts on one flange and before I even touched the other 3 the whole exhaust system fell.
Took it to an exhaust place that's done 3-4 systems for me in the past and the fixed it up good as new. No more exhaust leak and now I have all new gaskets and hangers.
Then tonight I just installed 19 lb injectors and my Mark D chip. We'll see if I notice any difference or not. *crosses fingers*
