Cool Just got done installing some goodies

I just got done installing the bushcur 3" tbe(hfc and magnaflow) along with the helix intake andwalbro 255 . I really love the exhaust as that and the walbro were straight forward and rather easy to install. On the exhaust, the only problem i ran into was that the hfc pipe was not perfectly round, therefore the cat back pipe would not fit. I just had to bang the cat pipe a bit and make it round myself. Took about an extra 10 minutes or so...no biggy. The tip does stick about a 1/2" or so from the bumper, but it is perfectly centered and will prevent any burning of the bumper. I would definitely reccomend having a friend help out(especially if using jackstands).

The helix intake was really a pita. It only took about an hour to install since i have done a couple other intake systems b4. Problems i had were that i got sent one hose clamp that wouldnt fit so i had to use an old one from my k&n. Also the hose that connects the dv to the intake pipe was a little small and could be legthened by about 1/4" or so. Very hard to get the hose clamps on such a small area. The intake also seems like it sits very low. It is almost resting on the inner wall above and in front of the wheel. I have heard only good things about the performance of the intake, so that is where i will make my yay or nay decision.

Since i have no ecu i can not give any opinions on performance. I should have my ecu back from Al tomorrow and can give some performance thoughts then. I CANT WAIT

yeah, my cat back pipe wasn't perfectly round on one end either. A block of wood and few good hammer pounds later I changed it's mind though.
