From what I hear, if you go catless, you'll throw a CEL. You'll love Stage 2 though. I have the same exhaust as you with a catted Invidia DP on Cobb's Stage 2 OTS map and it's a big improvement.

Yeah I'll need a protune with a catless and air intake. Both additions would give me one so no biggy, I'll get it taken care of.

And I can't wait!

Did a little work on the fogs, grille, etc. Nearly all visible material was painted matte black including the chicken wire in the grille. I ran out of paint but here's where I'm at.

Tomorrow I'll finish it up. I'm also going to try and find replacement bulbs for the fogs tomorrow and get those installed before I put the bumper back on.

Also, real men use black duct tape instead of blue painters tape!

Incoming mods:

Grille + fogs painted, seatbelt chime deleted, intake sound box taken out, forgot to disable DRL. Will do when I install new fog bulbs.

awesome job, gray is so ugly, flat black is perfect.

those night pictures really show off the lines of the car and those huge fenders, the GRB really catches your eye with those fenders.
i think i like the car more than i like the GD.

Sure np. Also, tip. Don't inhale spray paint fumes!

Yeah I just think it blends in together nicely now. This will work for now but my end goals would be fog ducts + an INGS grille for a bit more functionality.

Three more HD vids. Don't mind the silly comments--I didn't edit it or put any music in it so the exhaust could be heard.

RIGHT CLICK, SAVE TARGET/LINK AS!

Outside Driveby (56mb) My fav... listen to that beast! Don't ya love the shakey cam? Thanks Pete!

Same as above but incar (98mb)

In car, driving under "tunnels" aka bridges. (201mb) Driving around trough some overpasses/bridges. And look... a RICER and his silly Honda!
