im satisfied with it, I could feel a difference with it. Towards higher RPM is where I feel the extra kick. One thing i was a bit disappointed was the fitments.
I had to really work my ass off trying to fit the elbow into the intake manifold with the rubber seal perfect because its not a perfect fitment, after time I got it to a point where im content. The other problem was the elbow connected to the housing. It wasn't completely sealed, so the fitment is not the best but it still gets the job done.

[remix405]

yeah same with the k&n but with a little persuasion it fits right into place lol
:D

front and rear strut bar installation tomorrow... pics to follow...

[cullen61918]

Yesterday I went to Andrew's house (regular member of the MFest OC Crew) to install the front and rear sway's with the lowest softest setting on the rears and middle setting on the fronts. To be honest, I felt no difference, would there be any problems anybody can for see in putting both sways on the stiffest?

[.Noah Fecks]

ok so, intake, header, exhaust, sways, shifter. whats that little black thing? it looks like an odb plug of some sort

worked hard today on the install... hopefully tomorrow will be a finished job... thanks to the MFest members out there taking care of business...

[Laidback]

Nice:goldcup:


from my experience with sway bars...I did the max settings from the rear stiff and had to switch it to middle settings as i break the back end tires easily...I would set it middle on the rears and for the fronts stiff to middle and drive the car around for few days...also the Coilovers are playing a big role on you not feeling a difference as they really transform the car...hope this helps and keep us posted:goldcup:

On the 3 way adjust on the front, its set to full stiff. On the 2 way adjust rears, it remained soft. I felt a huge difference when I changed the fronts.

MOD DAY PICS

Big thanks to AGENT31, Andrewe46m3, and nismo skyline for making the install possible. I learned so much from these geniuses and they also saved me big money installing the headers, full exhaust, and short shifter. This is true family, ///MFest OC Crew.
