Personally, I'd make the trip to AZ and have the company install their product. Good luck, and we need to meet sometime. I have a friend that just purchased a SFP around here as well. ;-)
It was LHM in Murray, great Guys, but like you said. Im not sure they have done any headers. So i think i will take it to AZ over the winter. And yes we need to meet. I think i passed your buddie in the SFP ISF today. Was he on 106th?

I live right off 104th.

That's crazy, never heard of anything like that happening to an F... was the car driving differently? Or did the dealer just say something was wrong?

Nope didnt drive any different, No codes. When it was cold. And you would start it, and it would high idle for 15 seconds you could deffinatly tell, Once it warmed up it went away. But when i was close to a wall i could hear it clicking like a small exhaust leak

He's up north, but he works down here. And I am off 106th too, but in So. Jo.

If it's not raining in the morning, i'll be heading to Cars n Coffee around 9 (106th and 700 west - Beans n Brew). Swing by. Maybe we can get some of the other IS-F guys there too.

For those who mentioned that an alignment is required, is it a conventional wheel alignment or is it a specialized alignment for the subframe?
