Chance, it looks fantastic! Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait a bit since I just spent $300 on the short shifter and mudflaps. We are in the process of buying a house and my wife would kill me if I dropped a $1000 on my car right before closing. Maybe next year after my income tax refund comes in. Enjoy it!

P.S. Can you send me the link to the forum where Cobb commented as well? thanks a bunch

For now. I have some dentsc and scrapes I need dealt with before I fix it..... BUT.. I did buy an ebay lip spoiler to hold it together. And I went to AutoZone and bought some epoxy and glued the backside of the crack. It has lasted all winter without expanding. I will probably buy a new bumper off of ebay and have it painted.

So I am back on holiday block leave from the Army (Basic Training).. About 5 minutes ago I purchased a Catted DP and a Resonated MP from Nameless Performance.. So when I am back from Basic in April, I will do the install. Will also be purchasing Perrin Exhaust hangers and a Turbo blanket and a Grimmspeed Turbo heat shield. Super excited for the install + Stage 2.

Install complete on the Front/Rear Sway bars and Endlinks, and the Midpipe and Downpipe! Few knuckle busters a long the way, but got it done! Still waiting on my Grimmspeed PnP'd Headers and my Nameless Performance Turbo Heat Shield. Will be going down to Pacific Import Auto in Tacoma WA to have my GS Headers, GS Crosspipe, GS Uppipe, NP Turbo Heat Shield, and my Perrin Turbo Inlet Hose installed. That will be next week and will try to get some photos of that install.

The sound of the Nameless Performance Turboback is AMAZING! Sounds so aggressive and powerful when you get on the throttle, but when you idle or cruise, it is very calm and quiet. A nice deep rumble, with some pops and crackles when you rev up. Stage 2 from Cobb installed and I notice a HUGE difference from Stage 1. The car picks up so fast now, and pulls extremely hard all the way like 2800-6000 RPMS. The 24mm front / 22mm Rear sways and endlinks make a very noticeable difference driving down winding roads. Very Stable, and very responsive. I love it!

Here are some Pics.
