How did the CAT cost you? Is the Fiero exempt for life? Did you have to install the Evap from the 5.3?
The cat is a stock LS4 cat. You could buy one new for about $300? I modified it to fit in the Fiero engine bay and was noted as such by the ref. So it is legal to do some mods to the exhaust system. It was a standard smog certification, so it needs a check every two years. Yes the entire Monte emissions system is in the Fiero.
wow, I love the interior! what plans do you have for the console? are you going to keep it carpeted or make a custom piece?
I have a fiberglass piece in flat black, but not done yet. I have not worked on the car in a while. Just got the exhaust system for the smog ref and driving it. I did blow out two subs so far. I may just bump up the center sub to an 8"?

I have JL Adio 6.5 subs. I used to have two of them in the car with the stock dash. But this dash has a glove box that takes the place of one of the subs, now I only have one between the seats. I think it gets 250w.

Ow. Yeah, 250 watts to a JL 6w0 will kill it pretty fast. They peak at about half that. You want to provide about 80-100 watts constant to it. I have a 6w0 in my car, powered by the factory performance sound amp right now, in the stock sub location, and it hits pretty good. I also have a better amp waiting to get installed to power it, which is about 100 watts RMS. I had this amp connected to a 6w0 in the extended cab S-10 I used to have, and it filled the cabin really well for its size.

I have to say they did sound good. I got them because of the small size, but like them because of the great sound they put out. They lasted about 5 years. The first one blew out last year so I put the other one in its ace and now it is on its way out.
