My Fp Black kit with new cast o2 housing

Just received my FP black bundle kit,, they had a sale,, so far install is going smoothly.. Only thing that sucks is that I have to cut and ruin a perfectly good MR downpipe and weld the flange FP sends with the kit,,, needs a few adjustments here and there..

I was looking at this as well but with a red. What head and block work do you have done? Still on the stock 6 speed?

Can you put the stock exhaust manifold heat shield on these FP manifolds? The bolts look the same, that would be very useful in California.

I got my cast elbow to fit past everything without welding on the new flange to my existing megan down pipe- even made it past the ACD. I did have to clearance the A/C bracket flange but that only took a minute of grinding vs. a reweld of the downpipe. Fits under my Works under brace as well just as good as it used to at least.


Before clearancing, you can see where the elbow hits.




After a small amount of grinding.
