So...Proud owner of 2014 GSR Wicked White...here is what I've done so far.


1. Works Short Shift Kit plus all the bushings etc...awesome...paid a professional to install. (Cost $100)
2. Whiteline Sway Bar , Rear...easy install...few directions??...help from some friends with a lift. (Cost Case of beer)
3.ETS Quiet Cat Back, No instructions...really???...easy install bar trimming the heat shield and because one OEM bolt was screwed ended up cutting some more. Finally got it in with 1 original and 1 DYI bolt.


Comments.


Highly recommend Works Short Shift Kit although I do not like the small Works Shift Knob..(looking at WC Lathe )
The sway bar was easy...maybe because exhaust was off ??...no need to drop the diff at all.
Apart from no instructions...again...REALLY?? The exhaust was easy (1 OEM bolt sucked) sounds pretty good...
Hmm ...what's next???

Been running the car for a while now. I must say the exhaust is a peach. Great sound at all levels of acceleration.

What did you guys use to trim the heat shield? Can I just snip it?

Also I am using the ets flange to bolt up the midpipe to the oem cat.. Am I able to reuse the OEM bolts?

Good question.. Ill be installing my new catback tomorrow with the adapter flange as well. Im in for an answer to this

I'm going to install later today, if anything I'll let you know how it went tomorrow morning

I got it on. Ended up using a bolt size smaller and a nut on the other side to get it onto the cat. The oem bolt did not want to go back in for some reason, it might be because the cat is 2.5inches and the exhaust is 3inches. Also if you use all hangers the exhaust will sit right on the diffuser of the bumper. Today I'm going to try and adjust it by removing the inner hangers to see if it will sit lower. Other than that it was easy, I couldn't trim the heat shield on the cat so I just ended up bending it. It looks nasty but it worked

Nice glad to hear everything worked out. I got mine on last night as well and I did use the OEM bolts. For the geatshield around the Cat pipe flange, I took some sheet metal snips and cut it back so it was not in the way, about a quarter inch. Then, from the Cat flange to the mid pipe flange the gaskets went in this order -- OEM gasket, then metal ETS adapter plate, then ETS supplied 3 inch vibrant gasket.I did use all the hangars, and mine sits perfectly center in my difusser cut outs.. Are you sure you don't have one of the muffler hangars turned 90 degrees and you're using the wrong holes for the 2 muffler pegs?

Nice and yes I put the hangers the exact way they came off but I'm going to check it out again later
