Are you the black 1le I see all the time in the OC?

You regret going cat-less?

Matty ice, my 1le is black. Not exactly sure what you mean by oc. I don't regret cat less yet, my thought is I will worry bout it when the time comes. In the mean time enjoy.

I am looking at purchasing headers ( I know this thread is not about this) was wondering if 1 7/8 or 2" with 3" all the way to the tail. Even on a NA (naturally aspirated) seems there are some gains there. Reason I ask here is to find out where your or the fellow posters are going. I want ARH although Kooks seem a little less expensive... anyway.

OC=Oak Creek

I daily drive mine and I can't decide if I want to go cat less, worried about gas/exhaust smell and loudness. Would like to hear it in person before I purchase, figured if you were the 1le I see in OC it doesn't seem that loud driving normal.

I have 1 7/8 to 3" back, and I love both the sound and power it brought, I got the kooks 1 7/8 with hiflow cats for around $1200 so it wasnt too bad.

What are the specs of the cam?
No issues with valve to piston clearance?

The specs are: 233/242 .629"/.629" 113+3

Ive done a bit of research and Piston to valve clearance doesnt seem to be a problem. Ive seen some stories of lifter failure due to large cams, I am getting hardened pushrods, and new springs, would hardened lifters be a good investment at this time?
