i was just in san fran a few weeks ago. mid 60's during the daytime.

guys, i ran these on my '00 ls. the ride is so close to stock, you won't be able to tell the difference. good price, too. having said that, be prepared to do some r&r on suspension bits, because these cars do not like to be lowered. otherwise, it looks fantastic, and rides really well.

if you can do your own labor, there are plenty of high mile units out there for under $15k. i paid ~$11k for this one. it's cherry, with exception of the miles :)

aftermarket cats aren't going to be telling the downstream o2's that they are doing a factory level job at scrubbing the exhaust. if you have a local tuner, you can have them turn the rear o2's off, and your codes will go away. you will need to check your states inspection details and make...
