the weapon-r package comes with s-pipe that replaces the stock s-pipe and it will bolt right to the "scuba".. losing the primary cat makes your car non-CARB legal and in some states thats not street legal..

It is a Nitrous Solenoid and a Gas Solenoid. They are for the Nitrous kit on there.

Yes it couples right up to the mid section.

You gain some HP by loosing the cat and then freeing up some air flow with the header and S Pipe.

Ok so its been one week now with my Weapon-R headers and to my surprise Im bluish LOL so even though i wiped the Headers down with some Alcohol they turned blue purple whatever it is but i kinda dig it, i have got several compliments on the color there are no burnt fingerprint marks.

We will see maybe ill color them maybe, im so happy with their performance though almost like night and day!

The idea of the alcohol is to avoid having any imprints burned into the finish. The color changes are unavoidable due to the high temperature of the exhaust gases. Only coating the pipes can hide that (paint, ceramic, whatever.)

weapon-r header, s-pip, cel eliminator combo, metalic core spun race cat, 30" magnaflow silencer and a tanabe touring muffler. very deep tone and still pretty loud but bearable. sound deadening is my next project.

WARNING! if you going to remove the scuba tank make sure you get some ear plugs and no popos within 3-5 blocks radius. trust me its freakin loud. i've been warning all the peps out there and hope nobody get in any trouble.

good luck and have fun

Thats what i did but i replaced it with a generic 13" resonator. Here is a clip of how it sounds under load
