i did it.... i got the straight pipe done!! She sounds so quiet now, i guess i got used to the non functional cats lol. The guy dug out the cat in the front so theres none of that grey stuff in there since he said he couldnt straight pipe it cuz of the branch. Ne way she feels much better a little more power freed up.... i was at 60mph in second gear so im satisfied

I can get to 69-70 mph in second gear if I pull it almost to the rev limiter on my auto, I thought all first gen SC3s get to around 68 in 2nd?
