I just installed a Fujita LICP yesterday, and I'm diggin' it. I wanted a dirt-cheap ebay licp and found it for like $30 or something like that brand new.
I don't have a dyno, and I haven't tuned for it yet, but the butt-dyno likes it. I will say that I'm having some bumper fitment issues right now (passenger side won't quite fit up to the headlight), but I didn't have a Dremmel tool with me and ran out of time to finagle the bumper with it. If you can't find them on ebay they have a website f5air.com, and it comes in a cool orange box!
Also, for the mini-battery go buy yourself a Deka battery (ETX14 or ETX20L) and go to your local hardware store and buy a couple of threaded rods, a u-bolt (for the thing on the end) and some locking nuts and drill the stock tray for $80 flat (if you want the nice SAE terminals). Or do the same thing for $70 bucks and live with the fact that you just made your own battery terminals out of a brass plumbing fitting
P.S. - I know I'm gonna get flamed for pushing ebay and off-brand, but I've spent less than a grand on my car and I'm putting down solid low 12's on 91 oct. Or I could've bought that really nice $900 greddy Ti exhaust.....

I've got the Injen lower and upper IC piping and I love em. Got the Injen intake too. Pretty easy install. Good fit. And, as soon as I had them on, I could feel the car pull harder. It does make a difference. And this was before I even upgraded my FMIC. Good bang for the buck. And, for what it's worth, the Injen piping looks good.

Go with one of our online vendors for sure. Either one will perform the same. I chose ETS for the customer service, quality, and appearance. You can't go wrong with either ETS, AMS, or Buschur.

ETS! Most importatnly is get stainless steel, not aluminum (they could crush under the t-bolt), and get t-bolt clamps instead of worm clamps. Anything else is really just splitting hairs.
