my main questions:
1) whats the outlet size on the s&s headers?
2) what diamater cats did you go with? part # if possible?
3) looks like 2.5" from the catback at least, is this right?
4) what mufflers/tips did you use? magnaflow has a crappy selection of 2.5" universal mufflers.
5) how does it sound!?

1) the headers outlets are 2 1/2 I am fairly sure, maybe 3"? I will measure them.
2) & 3) complete Set up is 2 1/2 from headers back
4) They are magnaflow tips
5) I sounds cool as hell! Nt to intrusive but when you stand on it it sounds good! I love it!

good stuff thanks for the answers, if ur sure its 2.5" including cats and back, thats all i need to know, but if you do get a change to measure the cats, thats the biggest importance. i'm trying to figure out what will fit. thanks a lot! i bet it sounds great. enjoy. i'm hoping for a good jump in hp/tq as well.
That's one hell of an all-at-once mod list. 
I bet you were scared ****less when you gained all of that power at once.
Were the headers one of the things you got from a member here? Do you mind if I ask what they ran you? I'd also like to know how you/the shop went about installing them and what was needed for the install. Do you still have to loosen the motor mounts to get them in?
Great build you have going. Do you have a thread started for your super charger project yet?

My cousin and I installed them, they are tough to do, but we didnt pull the mounts. we used swivel sockets, long wrenches, short wrenches, short sockets and pry bars. It was tough.
No thread yet for the super charger but I have a pretty solid plan.
Thanks

YO, hey dude, u gotta get some sound clips. I have a 98 sc400 white just like yours. Im planning on just getting a resonator delete. U have any input on that? i lifted my car today and saw the piping that leads into the 3rd cat is terrible.
o nvm, just saw ur engine bay, i think the 97 exhaust and 98 are different
