I had just finished bolting on my stock exhaust, headers and everything last night because i failed my emissions test about a week earlier, so i figured i have to put the stockers back on to pass...as i go to start it, all i hear is a loud click from the starter and basically the car lost power altogether, and i had no issues with it beforehand.

The only thing that happened during the installation was when i was bolting the passenger side on, i had to use an extension to tighten the bolt and i touched the starter resulting in a little spark, but that's it....anyone think they know my problem.....? ? ?

just my 2 cents, I'am by no means an electrical trouble shooter, but is it possible you blew a fusible link? I did the same when I was messing around with my stereo and the battery was still attached.......It was by the starter solenoid....

Yeah, that might be a possibility, damn this f'ing sucks, and speaking of the stereo part, i did the same thing too, i blew the fuse to the subwoofers only b/c i forgot to disconnect the battery, man i hope it's an easy fix and just hope that starter didn't go.....
