Talking ETS parts installed

I spent the my day saturday putting on all my ETS parts that I ordered for myself as a Xmas gift. I got the intake, upper and lower IC piping and 4" front mount (back ordered untill mid january) as well as the recirc downpipe and test pipe.

Install went smooth and fitment could not be nicer. Fits like OEM if not better. I was worried about all the horror stories about removing the turbo oultet and what a PITA it was to get to the nut on the stud, so thats where I started. I did remove the strut brace and WG actuator, but after that all I need was the box end of a 14mm craftman wrench, THATS IT. Maybe I was lucky, but I was in good spirits when it came right off.

Here is a photo of the end results, I love the brushed stainless look.

Big thanks to ETS for exceptional products and stellar customer service!

Now I am just waiting on the 4" IC before getting re-tuned. What kind of numbers do you all think I can expect from the following mods...

ETS Downpipe
ETS Testpipe
Buschur Catback w/bullet muffer
ETS Intake
ETS UICP
ETS LICP
ETS 4" IC
HALLMAN MBC

on 93 Pump Gas it will be Buschur tuned.

What next???? Trying to get to 400whp!

I can't wait to get my ETS V2 exhaust in. How was the installation with the stock hangers? I am thinking about picking up new hangers.

I already had the buschur cat back. But ETS bolted up perfectly. In fact I think with the ETS dp and tp it holds the exhaust up tighter to the car for better clearance.

I highly recommend any part ETS makes, you will not be disappointed. I was very happy with my buschur catback as well.

Install was very straight forward and stock hangers work just fine. No need for new hangers.

So my instincts tells me to baby the car until I am able to get it re-tuned. I have added the ETS intake and IC piping and downpipe and test pipe since the last tune.

Do I need to stay out of the boost as much as possible?

It won't be easy. It just sounds so sick.

I'd say just putt around easy. I love my ETS stuff. I went all ETS goodies with a MAP turbo for 463whp on E85

I can't wait to hear the feed back. I'm looking at installing the same parts on my 2011 GSR. Post up some more pics and let us know how the tune goes =)

I ordered the ets intake, upper and lower IC piping a couple days ago and can't wait for the parts to get here to install them! After learning about the sale ets had and reading all the amazing reviews about their products I couldn't pass on the opportunity. Just a quick question though, I don't need to tune the ride once the parts are installed though right? Will I be good on the stock without messing anything up? Sorry, I'm still a noob and slowly trying to learn the ropes. Thanks in advance!
