No I bought the car as is. They gave me the entire turbo back stock exhaust. I have emission in Idaho too but all I did to get rid of the SES code was through a spacer in the 02 sensor behind where the cat should be and clear it. Thus far I have been code free for 3 weeks now. The front mount on it was an ETS and so was the LICP. It wasn't a buschur turboback. I believe the open dump is a JM Fab. Not sure on the downpipe. But the test pipe is a megan and the catback is a thermal.

Oh thats dope, how strict are they up in idaho about emissions? I walked in the testing place down here and almost immediately the guy just says "Im not passing that" without even looking, "all he said was that pipe isnt stock so i dont want it in my shop" so i had to go to some sketchy hole in the wall who passes anything ha.

They plug it up to a machine via the OBDII port and it rereads the emission read out. If the ses light is on you are guarnteed to fail it. They are suppose to do a visual test too but in the 10 years I have lived here they have never asked to look under my hood.

Yeah in Idaho the only thing most of them car about is the emission that it puts out. They are suppose to check under the hood and under the car but we don't have inspections like some states do. Thankfully. LOL

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Update:

Update new goodies installed: 5Zegins have been put away for the winter at this point.



Picked up the Rexspeed Spoiler. I think it looks a lot better than the stock spoiler. Plus no more peeling clear coat. Also installed smoked side marker lights.



Routed the throttle cable



Installed a JM Fabrications Coolant Overflow container and a WeaponR power steering fluid container to dress up the engine bay.

Very good job on the engine bay. I love making the engine bay less crowded. Did you install your new clutch and flywheel yet?

Thanks. Since that pic I have also installed a JMFabrication Turbo Intake and an Oil Catch Can. Also I have a Buschur Ported Turbo Manifold that is jet coated to install as well. Have a few more things I wanna get for it too but it is almost done it there.

I haven't installed them yet. I haven't really had the time to do so. Plus my clutch is still good and with winter coming I don't really see it being a high prioity install at the moment.
