okay, but you think I'm half full of BS then. I can live with that. it's not BS though I just have a lack of street smarts/car smarts if there is such a thing. I know the steering wheel got a little squirly because on the second run I ended up turning on my windshield wipers accidentally. sorry for the misunderstanding.

I can fully understand the confusion since your other FWD car is alot less powerful than your SRT-4. It was the same way with my R/T, it had great power for what it was, but the torque was lower being normally aspirated. It would go like mad, but not much in the way of a steering wheel fight like the turbo cars with their huge amounts of torque.[sm=smiley4.gif] My Shelby Z would also fight you for the steering wheel as well.

I got all my stuff for my first OCC today and if all goes well and I see some results I will put on another. I got the filter from Wal-Mart, the barbs from Home Depot, and the hose from Auto Zone. I have the diagram of how to do it from an older post from silver bullet and he was saying something about cutting his zip ties to empty it. Couldn't you just twist off the bowl and dump it out or is there some reason why you can't do that after it's installed?

Sure, you twist off the bowl to empty it, just be sure it's cool when you do it (and don't pour it back into the engine). And be sure to take the white filter element out of the "can" part, it's useless for an OCC application and actually cuts down on the amount of oil you'll collect...[sm=smiley4.gif]

Thanks, I almost forgot to take out the filter. I just read one of your recent posts and you said:

"The Mopar/Borla exhaust will be better for your SRT-4 until you reach around 300HP."

What happens at 300HP? I was thinking about getting the Mopar/Borla exhaust but I will be getting the Stage 3 when I get back from the desert if it's out and by then or soon after I plan on being over 300 HP.

Then by all means go with the 3 inch if you're going to have the Stage 3 for sure....otherwise stick with the Mopar/Borla, it gives you needed the back pressure for your low end power....it's hard as hell to find a road to drive 160 mph on!!!![:@]

Will the 3" create enough pressure with the stage 3? Is more pressure better? or better yet how much is too much pressure? Why not get smaller pipes to create more back pressure? I would love to go 160 all the time. Maybe I'll go to Montana.
