Install the parts yourself, you'll learn more about your car and save money that way.

no the thing is you CAN get a high flow, but i guess that you cant upgrade your header because it will take out the 2ND cat and the car wont pass smog in ca

All those items are easy install if you have basic tools. Intakes from us (RRM) come with instrcutions and so do catback. Header is an easy install and if you get stuck installing our header just call. Everyone here, even office *****es, answering the phone has installed one so we can help you through it.

^ So true, RRM is one of the rare shops where the employees are hardcore tuners themselves. They know how to do install many of the products they sell.

yah beware of other companies that sell other companies stuff, and then claim to be mechanics and know how to install stuff.

I was taught by Rock, himself, how to put on a turbo kit and other performance mods. All RRM employees learn how to do installs and basically become lancer experts themselves.

Since no one answered, here's the order:

Headers (1st cat inside them)
Downpipe (shaped like an L, they go from the headers under the car)
Catalytic converter (2nd cat, it's the obvious one that's below the front seat area)
Midpipe (pipe that goes from the cat to the axleback)
Axleback (piping from the rear axle back, includes the muffler)

Axleback + Midpipe = catback

Buying headers removes a catalytic converter. This is illegal. You can get in trouble. If you're in Cali, you will fail smog testing (and if they pop the hood, they'll notice).
