hey guys! sorry I haven't been that active on the boards at all in a very long time- had ACL Reconstructive surgery redone on my right knee in December, right before the new year, lol.. needless to say I did NOT need alcohol on New Years this year, i was hopped up on my best bud percocet

and ... just now getting back into working out and getting back to normal, so now I can relax a bit more, finally.

Doing some mods to my car- and need some advice. I just purchased a Magnaflow 3" catback for it- any suggestions on where to get it installed?

Also- my ideal rims for my car are American Eagle 077 series- love that look, but what size do I need to get so that they fit? I went to their website, and it says they are for FWD cars, but I see them on camaros a lot... so yeah, being a newbie at car modding, i have no idea, lol.

Anyway, feels good to be back on the boards... can't wait to go to a meet/get together sometime and start meeting some of you guys!

- Kevin

if you has the basic tools and a jack and jacksatnd you can handle the catback in your own driveway its no biggy at all..

Well, #1, if you need a hand installing your catback, you know I'm down to help. You can also post up a msg here and I'm sure there'll be some ppl down to give a hand. I wouldve installed my catback if my garage wasn't full and my driveway was non-paved a.k.a rocks :-\ , so my friend installed it for me.

As for the Eagle 077's, they come in 16x8, 17x8, and 18x8 . U need a 5 Bolt on a 4.75" bolt pattern. Click Here to Check Out Summit Racing's Selections on the Eagle 077's.

As far as the wheels go, I had the 16x8's on my '02 and they looked good. I only went with that size so I could keep the stock tires at the time. If you get these, make sure you get the chrome because the polished are a BITCH to keep clean (at least cleaning by hand)....which is why they are now collecting dust in the corner.
