What he said! ^^ but I didn't use any relays, just tapped it into the running lights and it works fine for me

Installed my new custom 3" Magnaflow(14834) catback exhaust system. I removed the resonators and it sounds really good. It gives it a nice deep tone with no rasp at all. As far as the cabin noise its still pretty quiet.

post a video of the sound. that exhaust looks nice. I'm doing a turbo on my car as we speak, and need to figure out my exhaust situation asap. If i decide to go dual, I might copy your setup

Thanks Omar. The welds and everything came out really good along with the work. As far as vid clip I will try and get a sound clip this weekend. Its sounds really good. I had custom 3in piping done on my Turbo IS with Magnaflow mufflers and it sounds amazing. I plan on boosting my SC so all I would have to do is get a 3in downpipe to mate up with my exhaust and I will be good.

You're off to a great start! I can't wait to see how everything turns out and what setup you decide to go with.

Thanks. Ive done a lot of research and plan on going with the 1j swap. I will be picking the motor and everything up in the next month or so and try to have it done by early spring. I will attempt to do the swap myself along with the help of the forum. This will be my first swap that im doing myself but I should be able to tackle it lol. Only thing is im not good with wiring so I will have somebody help me with that.

Nothing new but decided to wax her for the first time and mine as well. It was a long process but the end result is well worth it. pics dont do it any justice.

It looks shiny to me. I like my cars to be smooth, no roughness, no spider scratches, and looks even under any type of lighting. On a side note, the exhaust work looks top notch. I am also waiting on a video clip.
