Just got my first mod done. I t was a pain in the butt just like everyone said, but with some blood, sweat, and beers it came out. My car has just under 1k mi so I didn't have any problems with breaking bolts, just smashing fingers. Thanks to everyone who posted up hints.

ETS Intake should be in in a few days ( even though I ordered it 8 days before the downpipe).

 

congratz, now everything will seem simple in comparsion

 

i have mind on order . Does it make an obvious difference on your butt dyno?

 

Not really.

 

^ but I still have factory exhaust and intake.

 

No disrespect, but thats a weird choice for a first mod, lol. Did you jump on the black friday sale or something?

 

Sure did.

 

im surprised its suppose to give you a extra 15hp.

 

↑↑ Probably added to a high flow cat/test pipe and a catback. I'm sure it helped a little, but he still has the stock exhaust besides the downpipe. When adding anywhere from 5-15hp it's sometimes hard to tell the difference on the butt dyno.

 

how long did it take you just out of curiousity

 

Great job!!! That is a beautiful piece!!! Congrats

 

i think i may be selling my ams o2downpipe...nowhere to put an external wastegate

 

I did it from start to finish in about 8 hrs, but I had to go find a store that had a 14mm flex box end wrench, and a lunch break. It was probably 5 1/2 of work time.

 

Don't those normally go on the exhaust manifold? ( obviously not the stock one)

 

Hells yeah I just ordered mine
