New tires and full exhaust!

Today has been a very productive day! I installed a new set of Hankook Kinergy ST tires, and then worked on installing my stainless header and getting a new exhaust system made... we had to gently massage (with hammer, cutting wheel, and welder) the exhaust runner for cylinder three on the header to get it to fit properly and not contact my coolant crossover pipe, but it worked in the end. From there I went with 2.25” pipe all the way back, an emissions delete downpipe, resonator and Thrush muffler... car has an all new sound that I’ll have to get used to but it seems to run better at least. Once the tires break in and I stop stomping the loud pedal to hear the car, I’ll try and see how the mods affected mileage...
