well its been about 2 years since ive had my black 5 spd.
just to recap it looked like this when i first got it

then after 2 months of having it i got wheels, coilovers, stereo, kit, paint...

then its been sitting like that for 2 years then finally started doing more stuff to it. i changed out my exhaust to a single and added 97 tails... then for some ls brakes

then yanked the old ge motor out

since it was out i got a new water pump, t belt, new gaskets and seals. i was also worried about how the stock twins might be so i pulled them off and decided to go single at the same time.

ill try to answer the questions off the top of my head without quoting.
motor i got from jhot... good people got it for 1800 because of the microsoft live rebates.
i would love to get some 5zigen muffs. but performance wise i went with a single exit 4inch from a supra.
manifold is a xspower one. bash if you may... they actual work and hold up.
