nice list of mods

[metaldahlberg]

Thanks it is a work in progress. But I am pumped for the parts going next weekend

[DeadLeprechaun]

MOAR PIX PLOX! lmao. nice lookin car and nice list of mods. Looking forward to seeing the finished product

Since you've got a little time before your next part install, get some heat wrap for headers/uppipe/downpipe.

[metaldahlberg]

I'll post up more pics of the installs next weekend. Then pics and vids of the dyno tune the weekend after that.

All the power mods are going on next weekend as the OP says. Then tune. After that I am concentrating on all the other mods listed besides power.

Since you've got a little time before your next part install, get some heat wrap for headers/uppipe/downpipe.

I ordered a few rolls. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. Wrapping those parts and doing some other prep before next weekend.

I also might heatwrap some of the hidden tubing of the fmic if I have any left. I figured it can't hurt. But the parts more likely to be affected by heatsoak would be the ones I wouldn't wrap just for cosmetic reasons. Idk.

Your going to love the Invidia DP and Turboxs CBE. I had the same set up on my 2010. Its pretty loud but sounds so good.

[metaldahlberg]

Ya man. The Turboxs sounds pretty damn good. I'm excited to get rid of the stock cbe and get some noise.

Old school joke bro, it's just a funny

[metaldahlberg]

I figured... but I don't get the joke. Lol
