vivid_BLUE will become famous soon enough

a few more questions about "the swap"

Yes, I've searched, but never found....

I plan on doing the swap soon, and I got some questions I haven't found answers for....

1. I have an automatic, would I have to change out my cluster with one for a manual?

2. What about my cat-back exhaust? Would I have to get rid of it, or can I just kinda do some custom work to it so I can save some money? If I do this, would I be losing power or not?

3. Where are some good shops in the southeastern area that can do the swap for me? I'm looking fo a place with experience in this particular swap, and do a good job.

well, on the automatic tach the 7000 rpm mark would be about where the 5500rpm mark is on the manual. (not sure if thats the exact difference but about)
