because i do not want to lose any low end power if that makes sense (so i dont know if a 2.5 catback is even needed on N/A) and i do not want to lose the second cat or any cats because i think my inspection laws are pretty strict in NJ, they will likely fail me if i am missing any of the cats.

OP says his state isn't too keen on monitoring the cats so he thinks he will be ok. I am still curious to hear that custom exhaust sound

I wonder how difficult it would be to turn this into a dual exhaust car via custom exhaust shop. we'd have to cut the rear bumper i'd imagine. still the Scion tuner challenge guys did an awesome job of making one dual exhaust.

what if you cover it with a cloth cover? do you think that would help with the cold metal when you grip it in winter?

I guess idk I think covering it in plasti dip would b easier. But I usually start my car and let it warm up before I get in.

what does plasti dip do to help the cold problem?

is it cold as ice in winter?

would plasti dip rub off eventually? it is brass.

dude your car looks excellent

yes it would be nice if they put a turbo in this thing stock but they still didn't so we have to live with a slow decent looking car that is very useful and practical and also quite comfortable compared to other coupes.

I was going to initially get a mazdaspeed 3 because i wanted to finally get a turbo car and go faster, but once i test drove it, good lord the thing was annoying to drive. very cramped, and clutch pedal was a bit tough too. the tC won out on comfort alone. i'd prob be dead by now if i got the mazda LOL..
