.....after about 3 long hours in my garage, using only a jack, jack stands, rhino ramps, and no one else but me, I finally accomplished the task! lol
Now I see why people suggest using 2 people for the install, would have been a LOT easier. Oh well, I love challenging myself to new things and it wasnt too bad. Now with the new mid-pipes, Tanabe exhaust, and a quick air-box mod for free (couple slots dremmeled out for now), my car sounds really aggressive, yet not annoying with the "droning sound"

Thanks guys! I ended up going with the Megan Racing ones because the invidias sounded really raspy and I didnt wanna go that route. Im happy with the way the sound turned out. Not too loud, but killer during WOT

No videos yet, I'll make one. As far as power, I swear it MAYBE accelerates a little bit faster, hard to tell. Might just be me slamming the pedal more lol. Seems like you can feel it kick a little more at certain RPMs
