Been waiting patiently for my parts to arrive.

Today I prepared for the downpipe by removing the cowl, should have watched a how to because I cracked one of the corner pieces then realized I don't have an o2 sensor socket at home.
Also removed one camber bolt on each side in the front and maxed out both sides to give it some positive camber. Had it set to -1.5 all summer and it's just too much for stock wheels.

Can't wait to get my new shift knob, also saw a cool way to install the shift boot with the acutity shifter which I want to try out when the knob arrives.

well, i didnt realize the shop had to actually order the part before shipping to me, so they just got it on thursday but according to tracking it hasnt shipped yet. but really, it doesnt matter since the car is sitting in the garage till spring.

Not yet, I would point out a airbag did nothing when a logging truck hit a solid metal ford interceptor-only thing that saved the driver was ford steel. Or long time ago my heavy chev ss impala broke a telephone in half and I walked away no seat belt either. Or when I flipped a taxi cab heavy chevy on its roof after I got stung by a bee-proven in a hospital-I got a ticket and beat it in court with medical proof-the stuck up cops in that extremely rich town were very angry-I left rather quickly LOL! These were the times judges were honest-no more of them in Maine maybe. I am appealing my speeding ticket due to unfair hearing. I like getting the last punch in

that's really neat does it fit both the stock shifter and acurity shifter? Is it weighted? How much is it.?

What exactly are you having trouble with?
Did you remove the o2 sensor and disconnect the two pieces on the stock dp?

went for a couple drives today after install. noticed some odd noises like exhaust leak on the first one. realized right away i forgot to tighten the upper nuts on the flange. waited for it to cool down and sure enough they were loose. tightened them and went again. noise is much less. experiencing the same hiss type noise most people tend to hear with this downpipe. to me it sounds normal for a header. can hear more ticks from the exhaust on start up and accel. Shifter feels great.

I need to do an alignment and top up the coolant so I can drive it again.

Little cold start with revision 1 of the new setup using MAF for the tune. Just uploaded revision 2 using map or speed density. Started it up after the new revision and didn't have any cold start issues but it had been running for a minute or two before so not sure if that made a difference.
I'll know when I go home tonight.
