if u get a hole you would have an exhaust leak, and if you have an exhaust leak it would produce backfire.

Not really sure.
If you want brighter than stock, why not just get 55w 5K ?

^ I believe Levon kept going thru y-pipes bc of the scraped flex joints so he finally got an exhaust place to cut the joints & weld in a straight pipe.

Not at all. I didn't notice any difference in sound at all.

RLQ: For anyone who has front camber kits, how the hell did you get the conical ball-joint seat off of the old control arm?

I destroyed my 2-arm puller and the little shop down the street from me bent his pickle fork trying to pop these bad boys off! I really really don't want to buy new ball-joint seats.

anyone?

I use this puller. Got it at Kragen for like $8. Once its screwed down onto the bushing/bolt, I use a screwdriver to keep the puller from rotating then keep tightening the puller...and pop!

I also have 2 of those bushings if you want them John.

i've been anti-replace my AT **** but lately i've been in the mood to get one.

My biggest discouragement would be the ***** dont match my wood grain interior...

Which sits higher/lower. OEM 05-06 ****, MOMO, RAZO. I like the razo look and price, i think it looks great with the brush alum but looks horrible in my car with the wood interior...

I know B2 had great service, never bought anything from Assultech yet. But I think they both have great service from what i have heard. And THmotorsports was also great.
