I haven't tracked the car and don't really plan to, so I'm going to see how my temps do. So far I seem to maintain @ ~180°.

How do you manage to maintain 180 in florida? Even during 60-70 degree wheather here in Chicago, I would hit at least 200 and if I am hard on the car then I will see 220-230.

Good question sir! Unfortunately it's one I cannot explain.

get spacers and save up to get a real exhaust if you're doing a catback.

I had my sights pretty much set on the FI with the additional flange to protect the cans from getting scraped.

Yah your oil is not fully warmed up then.

Sounds good. That or the GReddy would be my choice as well if going catback.

+ no originality... just a chinese copy of the HKS.

Hmmm.....I WAS thinking about the H&R spacers, but after reading about the center lip thingie breaking (H&R Spacer... Lip shaved/broke off?!) I'm kinda second guessing that train of thought. Kenchan, I know you're running Eibachs...did you run 'em w/ your stockers?
