RE: SuperSprint

Hey,

I had similar luck with the techtonics long downpipe kit for the US 
manifold (not the dreaded JH which is now RIP in a junkyard forever).  The 
thing with the techtonics, though, is if you put it staight-pipe as I did, 
with a free-flow muffler (without the coffee can resonator) you can sure 
wake your neighbors up!!

I'm glad you enjoy your new investment.  If you didn't do this yet, get 
lowering springs and boge turbo shocks!  arrgh!
