Yes they will bolt rite up. I finally got around to taking the downpipe off and gutted the cat and wrapped it. Gutting the cat proved much harder then antisapated i guess a cat with 100k is much easier to gut then my 9k cat. Ended up cutting the cat section out and heating it with a setaline torch and smashing it out and welding it back together.One problem is i forgot to mark the cut and eyeballed it back together i hope it fits lol. Also ordered my aem cold air intake yesturday and it should be here today.

I was kinda curious to see how it sounds myself? I'll get some STI exhaust videos up thursday or friday. Can't wait to get a bit more rumble. I think it's going to be kinda raspy sounding though. We'll see.

Hope the downpipe goes back ok. you can always precision bend it with a large hammer......

Nate I was in your area last night on an unplanned trip to Troy. If I would have known ahead of time. Maybe we could have met up to compare ;ahem notes:Banane35:

This was the first trip since the Vf52 and it did pretty well except for the couple of times I hit boost and didn't really want too. Ave was 23.1 according to dash gauge but I did get stuck a couple times in city traffic around 430pm and pushing around 77 on the highway. This was actually better than the TD04 at those same paces.

Finally installed the aem cold air intake today and i have to admit its pretty sweet looking. It is wrinkle red with a shield covering the filter hidden in the fender liner. I will post up photos of it the install was pretty easy fitment was good. Just waiting to tune it on friday and im done for a while.

Anybody notice that these cars always are hard to read the oil level? Im always worried its to low. Even when i change the oil at my friends shop it never seems to be rite on. It takes 4.4qts and i put in 4.5 but its still below the notch anyone else have this problem?
