I have no clue how close in the near future I am to actually buying things for my exhaust build, but it doesnt hurt to start early, and get some opinions from a few of you.
This is a very very very rough draft, i pretty much copied Winston's exhaust build thread (Winstons Exaust Build Thread) because i thought his sounded awesome. This is what i have in mind so far, let me know what you think, anything i should change, leave out, avoid, or even add.
First i wanna start with a Megan equal length header, and go back from there.
Flex Pipe
Cat Converter
Thrush Glasspack Muffler
Dynomax Muffler
Still a few things i need to figure out, like finding a resonator like he used, and whether or not to go above or below the axle. Personally im thinking about going above the axle because roads around her suck, so i dont want to take off a chunk of my exhaust when i bottom out lol. Let me know guys i really appreciate any comments or help, Thanks!

Ok well as many of you know i have a megan equal length header on my car. Im trying to clear up a CEL code so i can pass inspection. I have searched for the past couple days with no definite answer to what is causing the code.
The code is P0134 Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1, bank 1 �“ no acitivty detected Wiring open circuit, heating inoperative, HO2S Oxygen sensor (O2S) 1, bank 1 �“ no activity detected Wiring, O2S
So i believe that the code could be coming up due to 2 things:
1-Since i extended the wires, maybe something got messed up, even though i did each wire 1 by 1 to ensure that none of the wires got messed up.
So im going to pull an extra 02 sensor from a JY and put it on there to see if it doesnt get rid of the code.
2-Since there is not Cat Converter between the o2 sensors, i thought that could also be another reason why its throwing this code.
So is there any way to fix this without having to put the stock exhaust manifold back on? or is there a quick fix to get rid of the code so i can pass inspection. I plan on putting a cat between the o2 sensors when i do this custom exhaust.
Thanks for the help guys.
