Yeah I just didn't want to go through the hassle of having to switch the cats back on everytime for emissions. I heard the non-foulers are pretty cheap, but I don't know where to find them.

Swapping them out once every few years for emissions doesn't sound that bad IMO.

Injen
AEM ($356.55)
Stillen Z tube ($248.40)
Takeda ($303.45)
Fujita (~$310.76)

All help is appreciated. Thanks

... yes go with the pop charger if you want horrible heat soak. People only buy the pop charger for the sound... And its def not the best intake lol. My stillen air box is loud plus I dont get heat soak.. win win

For those of you looking for strut tower bars, I highly suggest not going with NRG. More then likely it will hit against the hood, its flimsy, and this is what I just noticed today:

Wow that sucks. GT Spec is the way to go with the strut bars, mine's 3 years old and still solid.

Alright thanks for the info. I did get like 6 or so longer bolts along with the spacer. But I always say better safe than sorry so I'll just go and order the new hardware
