Very nice, I have the manifold and O2 housing from PPI and they are great parts. On my O2 housing I had to enlarge one of the bolt holes on the O2 housing where it mates with the hot side to get it to assemble together so you should be on the look out for that. Good luck on your build!

Hehe yeah we snapped one of the bolts, but it's matted together fine, no leaks yet.

Car pulls HARD even untuned! I'm going to get some dyno time and show that these ported coated peices really do the work, amkign everything more efficient.

Big thanks go out to my friend for the install.

I figured you would make that catback a little cleaner and show the process upon doing so...

Glad you are happy with the parts Mitch! I think you will be even happier once she is tuned

Looks like a nice load of parts. I'm a little surprised that the throttle body got coated.

Lets see some numbers!

Update, the A-Spec Ti Test Pipe does not fit perfectly....makes the mid pipe rattle against a bracket which will eventually cause a hole in the pipe. My friend/installer suggested using some wire hangers to pull the exhaust to the right and allow ot to sit without contact...I hate the ghetto rig but we shall see tomorrow if it works.

So far, the car is still not tuned and has a funky boost controller in place of the EVC 6 for a couple days which doesn't boost consistently. I've been driving 1/2 throttle and only about 15 psi and it still goes fast than stock .

so with how you've got it laid out on the floor, I'm guessing you're just going to roll the car over the top of it all and just lift it up and bolt it on?
