Default Bolt-ons in the mail

Well Ive ordered a mac prochamber, mac cat-back, bbk 75mm TB, c&l plenum, and intake/TB spacers to add to my cold air intake. Im hoping for a noticable gain seeing how I spent $868. Ill try to get a sound clip of the exhaust after install... gears n tires and its local 1/8 mile track time... w00t!

don't expect much but better sound and a little at the top end. That's all you're really gunna get. THe exhaust will give you great sound though.

No tricks really... exhaust is 4 bolts total but you'll have to cut the old cat back after the mufflers to get it out. The mac cat back should probably be a clamp together type so it'll be easy enough to get back together.

4 O2 sensors. transfer the O2's before you put the new pipes on the car. Fit the mid pipe first (you may need a socket with wobble to get the pass side off).

The plenum spacers and tb should all be pretty easy to do. The black plastic connector on the throttle wheel is sometimes confusing to people. Just pull directly vertical and it'll pop right off. Remember how your TPS sensor comes off and put it on the new one appropraitely. Usually it'll clock counter clockwise about 45 degrees or so after you remove the bolts that hold it on. To attach to the new TB, just clock it so it fits on the keyway and rotate clockwise 45deg or so, then screw it back on.

also with the o2 sensors get a 7/8 open end wrench, dont waste your time with the o2 socket it wont fit in there, also get PB blaster to spray the rusty bolts and the bolts connecting the pipe to the manifolds are 15mm

When I was bone stock, I ran consistent 9.40s. Then after I installed my O/R X pipe, cat back, softer tires, and cold air intake, I ran 9.10s. The mods are worth the money to me. Not so much the power, but the appearance and sound is MUCH improved. Youll feel like your riding in a 400whp car until you mat the throttle and find 260.......:wallbash:

the bottom passenger side nut connecting the stock h to the manifold is a bastard to get off. you'll need a 8-12 in. extension, and a swivel. good luck.
