hey peeps can, I cant redline it anymore, with the exhaust in, I lose all power at 5500 RPM, I hope its not the clutch giving out but it feels like its gagging at 5500, my mechanic said it needs fuel, due to the increased intake and exhuast, what do ya think?? the one on SR is too expensive

Good question, how many miles are on it Lone?
Don't forget everyone, he just did the Tranny swap.
What mods do you have done?

stupid question alert... how is the cat? A clogging or melted cat will start causing trouble at the high end before it totally takes a dump and chokes your car off compleatly.

just put the cat in, only 300 miles on a 91000 series, carsound. Does it matter the direction you put the car in??? it didnt have any arrows and it looked the same from both sides.
recently installed: 4-1 header, 91000 series carsound cat, 28 inch Thrushmaster glasspack, and a blue anodized Apexi N1 muffler, all with 2.5 inch aluminized pipe

it just seems that if all your problems started AFTER the exhaust was put in.. I would start looking there for your answers. Definatly get under your car and look around some.
*Edit*
Have you reset the ECU after the mods? that might help
