Default New APN exhaust header and other stuff.

Quite a few things over the past few weeks... New APN exhaust header, new motor mounts, new black hood, new black bumpers and caps, new black flares, and stripped the silver plastic rocker moldings off the rocker panels followed by a good sanding and then finally black Monstaliner. Which I must say that I am very pleased with. Before and after below.

Before:



After:



She is finally ready for some rock sliders and some window tint.

Thank you sir... not bad for a 20yr old. Meant to add that I've been happy with the APN header thus far as well. Judging by the "seat-of-my-pants" dyno, she definitely has a little more torque from the bottom to mid range which I expected with the improved design over the OEM header. Definitely worth the $150 and time to install it.

Nice 20 yr old looker!

Glad to hear about the APN, I've been looking at them for a full (somewhat cheap) exhaust by combo'ing it with the perf. curve exhaust. What are you running for the rest of your system?

I put in a highflow Magnoflow cat, but I haven't done anything with the muffler yet, as it seems to be in decent shape still. Exhaust is nice and throaty though, and a majority of that comes from replacing the cat.

I installed an APN header on mine and my only complaint so far it what a PITA it is to tighten all the bolts back down mainly in the center cause the tubes are in the way but all in all id buy it again its cheap and direct bolt in and its not cracked
