Heres my cars update, the oil sending unit i installed was leaking oil, i took it to my shop and they fixed it for me for free. My brakes were also squeaking badly, so they are replacing the entire front brake setup for free, pads and rotors. So i was pretty excited about that! So now im going to start with the front plog, then eventually do the down pipe. So with the front plog, all i need to install is the plog and the gaskets and of course tools right? Heres some pics...

Looks good!
Just re-use the stock metal gasket. You don't need a new one.

Yeah, i did not use teflon tape or anything, so the shop took care of it.
When i get the car back, ill take some night pics tommorow night, it looks best at night, reaaaally sick.
And for the plogs, I cant afford them now, so ill jsut wait and spend the extra 20 bucks.

Yes I did and I still believe it. I haven't had experience with either of them on my car but I know for a fact that a DP is a lot more restrictive on an otherwise stock GT than the front manifold. That's why I'm hoping and praying ZZP includes DP's in their Black Friday sales.

If it did, i would have delt with the tightness of cash for a cheaper dp...because its gunna cost over close to 240 with shipping.

Yep, I saw it and I was considering ordering but for whatever reason I decided I'd wait and just spend the extra $50 when the cars running perfectly and I'm ready to shell out $200 for a stinkin' downpipe.

Gosh, 200 bucks for a downpipe... headers aren't much more than that at all.

yep, only advantage with the DP is the ease of installation.
