You came all this way and you didn't come to SoCal Vintage this past Saturday?

I had other priorities (involving a woman).

Hi Charlie-

Do you happen to have a photo or a set of photos of Vlad's belly with this setup in place? I'd be curious to know if you had any issues with fitment, if you are running a catalytic converter (if yes, which one?), and where is your O2 sensor located.

I ask because when I did my M30B35 swap, the shop that did it installed a Supersprint header (SS #781401) and a Supersprint muffler (SS #781626), but in the middle portion, instead of using SS #781582 and SS#781523 (which you can see in your photo) they did some custom work which I think doesn't work (or sound) as well. I recall I had to travel abroad for a few weeks around the time they worked on the exhaust, perhaps there was some miscommunication with the shop, bottom line is I'm still baffled by that decision.

I'm just trying to right a wrong that has bugged me for some time... any help is appreciated -F

Now to see if I can find the time to get it installed before 5erWest.

No cat.

I have two O2 sensors. IIRC they are installed on the IE headers.

Scroll through here and there are many pics: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ckindel/a ... 7949745056

Thanks for the link Charlie, great photos and reference, but I wasn't able to find what I was looking for...
