I also installed my Z-Tube & Stillen Hi-Flow intake while I was at it. What to do next? Hmmmm.... hehe. Thanks guys.
And the mod bug has given its death bite.........it is a disease.Nice job on doing it yourself.

Super easy, even when I was sent a wrong internal spacer, which Tony had express posted to me within 2hrs of calling him, putting it back together was really easy with the directions you get with the kit.

I saw that vid too, very helpful.

Did you get it done? You should go for it, just make sure you reserve about an hour and a half if you're doing it by hand. If you can't find a torque wrench then use a nut driver, that's what I used & the install went flawless. I was a little afraid as well digging into an expensive car like this but I was confident & went with it, I even had my wife helping me since all my friends had other things to do. LOL.

PS: Watch that video by "ByThaBay", it really helped a lot. Way before I even started I knew where all the hoses were, etc.

Ohhh haha, just read your sig & noticed now. Good stuff, I don't think I'll ever head that route but who knows. I get bored when I have nothing to do on my car now, mod bug kind of sucks.
