peter's canadian imola ZHP project

We don't have inspection here so luckily, I don't have to worry about it... other than that there aren't any issues with the car itself by removing them

Other than the smell... And sometimes smoke.

right... and ethical reasons. and CELs.

the magnaflow headers with high-flow cats look awesome, but they are like $1300USD for the pair.

I guess you guys are too young to remember the days before catalytic converters...

No smoke at all from my car. Even on the dyno

You can always add high flow cats in place of the first resonator if your conscience is bothering you.
Just keep the stock exhaust. It works well. You can change it later if you don't like the sound

OK, that's a good idea. i will be keeping the stock exhaust... but adding the BMW Performance muffler.

ordered a valeo SMF conversion kit from fcpeuro! from what i can tell, this is a new product, and they are selling like hotcakes (attention rob! ).

the SMF is steel, and comes with a stock-type sprung-hub clutch disc and pressure plate, throwout bearing, etc. does not come with a pilot bearing or clutch install tool - ordered those separately. all told is was less than HALF the cost of the SPEC clutch and 20lb steel SMF setup!

good things are happening - it's going to be 2 months before i can really drive the car again, but man, i am excited!

Sounds good...and good price

yep! for stock-ish power levels... i think it's a great option.

That's sick that they're selling that kit now! I couldn't find a good kit to save my life when I was searching for one a few months ago when I thought my throwout bearing was done...
