So looks can be extremely deceiving. I went to Mid-Atlantic Motorsports today and let me tell you from the outside it looks like a junkyard. Inside doesn't look much different, but they do have plenty of nice cars they're working on I can tell you. There was a car cover, and when I snuck a peak there was a Skyline GTR 34 under wraps they're working on, RX7 with a 2JZ swap and a GT40R making 600whp on low boost. I'm just getting resonators welded on I feel like they should be doing a twin turbo setup for me or something more then what I want lol.

I hear ya man, I've purchased a set of berk high flow cats, but I don't know if I want to put my o2 sensor in jeopardy or not. I've heard plenty of horror stories about the sensor seizing and stripping, we'll see if they want to do it or not, or I may even sell them.

well, I have Berk HFC and they are great, 02 sensor was not the problem, the main thing is your going to have to break the factory bolt that holds the stock ones on. They are torqued too high and when you try to take em out the bolt breaks in half. berks sound good man, i would keep em. if you want to hear them in person just wait till i get back in a couple days.

Thanks for the invite, I made my appointment Monday afternoon, so I'm sure I'll be helping out so it doesn't take all day.

Anytime after 12PM. I'm having them put the resonators on and I think I'm going to do the high flow cats myself Sunday.

Install went great with the resonators. They were welded in right before the Borla muffler and sound excellent, top notch welding. It sounds deeper, a little quieter and there's no rasp whatsoever, the high flow cats not so much. They were able to get the passenger side 02 sensor out, but the driver's side seized on them and they didn't want to proceed in horror of stripping the threads. They told me if I want to install the HFCs I'll need to get a replacement sensor on the driver's side since they're almost positive it's going to have issues coming out. I was watching them while they were working on the cats and it seems they were able to get it to click half a turn and then it wouldn't budge. I'm very happy with the work done, they were fair and there were so many cars they were working on it wasn't funny.

Here's a sneakpeak until I'm able to get a better video tomorrow.
