Yeah I did the install myself...Not hard at all cept for becoming friends with swivel sockets for some of the manifold bolts...Also needed a 3 foot extension to attach the downpipe to the header from under the car

guess if I'm gonna do that I need to either do it in the next two months, wait until November, or have a shop do it. I'm not trying to work on a car in AZ in the summer. Did that last year with my wife's cousin's Accord. Nothing like sweating balls at 2 in the morning

The LSJ header is pretty close fit, first I was like eff aint gonna fit, but i havent had a problem hitting or rattling even when there is engine movement while shifts. Ill recommend ya get the armor coated one tho, I regret not getting it, the black one melts the paint in about 10 mins of driving after install.

yeah Fender Reccomended getting the Armor coat so that's what I'll get.
I would go for a 4-2-1 set up but I don't want the Tsudo and the Rk Sport & OBX ones are out of my budget

Glad you didn't forget, can't wait to hear them, although I don't how good quality your phone's video taking capabilities are.

So that's just the 2.5" cat back with the Flowmaster 40, no resonator?
Once I get mine installed it should be pretty mellow and deep, I got a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler C/C (To be installed in place of the resonator), and a 2.5" 4x9 Oval Magnaflow Muffler, plus a oval tip waiting to be installed.

I got the Cosmo intake but I had fitment issues with the battery until I went to an Optima. The Duralast or whatever with the post extender for the amp was rubbing the intake tube.

I did that too. Got plenty of clearance with the Optima though. Problem is, I didn't use the bracket originally due to the terminal touching and now I can't find it  Guess this means it's time to clean around the house

I ordered the short ram from HPS, don't think anyone on here has one, payed $171 shipped from Auto Grimmig, customer service isn't bad, just a lot of people with an Asian accent working there...<--- No offense to anyone on here.
Seems all ecotec owners on here have the one from Cosmo, just wanted to be a little different lol.
