    High Flow Cat + Racing Beat Catback Exhaust Question

    I have he racing beat cat back, and I also had a magnaflow high flow cat installed on a 2.5" pipe to mirror the stock set up...just a little bigger. It does not sound "ricey/raspy/buzzy", it sounds really good. I don't have any sound clips now.

    MSP ecu on P5 issues

    you are running a computer with a boost tune and no boost it will not run right. Plus what I have found out after you install a new ecu the car needs to go through the re learn process which takes around 100 miles of driving. If you need another P5 five speed ECU I have one and I am in VA too.

    How to tell the difference between an open diff and lsd trans

    Right, that's what I am wondering. Before the guy I got it from had it, the guy who did have it also had an MSP parts car as documented here. But I don't know if that trans got put in the P5. Normally if you jack the vehicle up and spin one wheel, if the other wheel turns the same way then...

    How to tell the difference between an open diff and lsd trans

    Sorry, I guess it would help with a little more information. The car does not run. It is a P5 with a MSP turbo kit installed. I do appreciate the Cheech and Chong reference though So I need to be able to tell if it has the lsd trans with out being able to start or drive the car.

    How to tell the difference between an open diff and lsd trans

    Hey guys, I am considering buying a parts car, but everything depends on if the car has a speed trans installed or not. The seller is unsure because he did not do the mods. Is there a tag on the trans somewhere? What other indicators can I look for? I know on my nissans you can raise the...

    Stereo install, how to amplify component speakers in the front doors

    Thanks for your input, that make sense. So if I amp the front doors with out running speaker wire into the doors I am still wondering about the other stuff. Does the factory system have a built in crossover? Assuming I would not loose much I would like to leave the factory tweeters in place...

    Orbitz gauge pods?

    Yeah, I am aware of that. That's not a big deal to me. I just did not know stuff like what you posted was available. I was trying to figure out how I could rig that up some other way, but it turns out I don't need to. Do you put those in place of a DIN pocket, or do you leave the DIN pocket...

    Orbitz gauge pods?

    Does anyone here use them? I am curious how the triple gauge set up look with a radio installed, it seems there would be a gap or something in the din pocket below the radio.
