Help me get this done ...

After listening to ALL of the clips in the sticky ... I was floored by the Steeda Axle Back/Pypes O/R - H pipe combo.

I will be buying this combo.

Questions. The H pipe, obviously I'll need the MIL eliminator kit as well.

Also, it can't be legal without the cats. What issues will I run into during vehicle inspection?

Will a place like Midas perform the work? I don't have the tooling to do the work myself, and I would like the added security of a pro doing it anway.

Thanks for your input, in advance!

I live in Pennsylvania.

How do I go about doing the tune you mention? Sounds like something I'd be interested in.

Sheesh. $400, they sure know how to get your money!

I used to have a 2003 GT. I modded the crap outta that thing, but I ended up getting rear ended ... which believe it or not, totaled the car.

All of that money, gone! I took off what I could, but didn't get crap$$$ for any of it. All of that money, wasted. I guess that's the chance we take.

With the '06 stang that I got right after, I vowed to not do any mods. I have not done any for over 2 years.

I just remember the permanent smile I got from upgrading to a louder exhaust. I have a long commute to work now, so I say ... heck! If i'm going to be in my car so much ... I may as well enjoy it!

While that tune mod sounds tempting, I'm not looking for any more horsepower. 300 is good enough for me. Anything added by exhaust, nice! That's a bonus.

I think I'll pass on the tune and go for the MIL kit.

My biggest regret was getting a supercharger on the old one. I don't take my car to the track. After so many tickets, I was afraid to get on it enough to enjoy the boost. Ah well, it was still nice to have the option.

Thanks for the help guys, but I'm not going to work on it myself. I must seek out an alternative way of getting this on there.

Well, if you want, shoot me an offer for my CAI/Predator tuner. It is just a canned tune for the car when putting on the CAI. It would be MUCH cheaper than buying it new. I had an off-road h pipe with it and it worked flawlessly.

How about I start at $1, and work my way up? I just may be interested.

I'm a really cheap bastard as many would probably assume from reading my posts.

Do headers mess with emissions at all? I didn't catch a decent "outside of car" clip with this setup's involvement with headers. I really would like to do a full exhaust if it's feasible, and easy to legalize when the time comes.

I guess I should probably do the midpipe myself like everyone says, if I'm going to have to put the stocker back on during times of inspection. Dammit! I do this kind of stuff for a living, so I prefer to pay when I can. I hate lugging tools back and forth from work. UGH!!! I work so freaking many hours, too. Ah well ... if it's important I'll make the time to do it.

I will still price the installation at a local speed shop, to see if it's a practical amount of $$$ to pay twice a year. I'm really trying to avoid doing the work.

Really, I do appreciate all of the help guys. I'm borderline teerarded when it comes to getting this stuff done. Having paid for all of this work to be done in the past, it doesn't leave me with much knowledge for future applications.
