Looking at PLM headers, it comes with a 200 cpi cat, just wondering if it's worth getting a 100 cpi one.

Are u referring to the byp package? I think it comes with 100cpi.

Tell me about it. Well my one had slight manufacturer fault which could be fixed so he said I could have it for 550 which is still $20 more expensive than a new non faulty one.

And these shops wonder why they lose business to traders on the Internet . . .

Just the bolt bracket at the bottom part of the header doesn't line up so the bracket needs to just be moved so the bolt can go through and be tightened. Nothing major.

Yonas said he can fix me up with sale price and $50 off so I'm happy with that now. Should come to about $480 for the headers from original $660 price :)

Is it worthwhile getting new engine mounts even if mine are still fine? I'm considering hasport mounts from Jdmyard since they still have their 20% off sale..thoughts?

Also, hardrace, hasport or mugen mounts?

Defs worthwhile, i'd go with hasports, im running 62a in the front and trans and 70a in the rear, vibrations aren't even bad, and become even less noticeable once they wear in. Hardrace is hardened rubber where as hasports use polyurethane; mugen apprently doesn't feel must different from stock and is also rubber.

How is the plm ground clearance? Does it make the exhaust sit alot lower? I think the last thing i want is even more scraping of my mid pipe...
