Great video! Did you happen to weigh the oem after the cat (mid-pipe). I’m not allowed to change any oem cats in SCCA G street autocross, buy can change everything thereafter. I’m just wondering if everything downstream of the cat weighs enough to make it worth swapping in the Turbo XS catback. Which 25 lbs I think? (I’m in a gen 1 as well)
I did not weigh any of it. But, removing the muffler and opening up the pipe with a larger diameter, definitely won't hurt you any. I don't think (just from handling it) that there would be that much of a weight change, other than the muffler being gone. Plus, the sound of this kit was nice. Not too "pingy" or "tinie" has a nicer deep sound.
We used the gaskets, but did not need to use any of the adapters. We also used a light film of high temp silicone on both faces of the gasket, immediately after the turbo.
thanks man!! I appreciate you being the only gen1 speed cat back exhaust video! 10/10

Hey did you use any if the adapters/ donut gaskets that came with the kit?

Wow you’re from Oklahoma?? We need to link up and do that with mine lol
did this guy tune his car after the install? also what was the torque on the bolts for the exhaust?
