hood clears fine. I needed on my EX some fuel connectors which i found at my local Discount auto and I needed an exhaust gasket, they sent two and they didn't fit but, I didn't do any welding like i should have. My exhaust is as follows .... downpipe, mid-pipe, my cat-back exhaust. They supplied the down-pipe and mid-pipe. You will also need to buy electrical connectors. One more thing is a drill bit for the oil pan which i believe was a 5/8 drill bit. Which needs a 1/2 chuck on the drill

I'm really tired...... O.k. to make a long story short..... Drove the car three times and still have problems. Had 2 fuel leaks and 1 oil leak which are now fixed. But, the is no boost showing on the gauge although I know it is boosting.

Yes i needed to buy an exhaust gasket from discount auto for like 5$.

I have other small problems as well so, I need to call Brad in the morning so, I can fix them tomorrow nite. Please note all test drives were performed without the front bumper so don't ask about intake air temp ... don't know yet. As for all other questions I'll do my best.

Definately seems like they dont have their sh*t together yet. You should tell them they better send you some damn good directions for the install, or you want money back plus compensation for the labor.

O.k. guys. The boost gauge is fixed as is the extra injector wiring. Tonight i'll be putting on the front bumper and the car will be finished. I'm going to call a tune shop tomorrow and have them go over everything just in case as well as tune it and dyno !! I'll post pics and dyno runs together.

It would have been nice to see zero difficulties during this install. But I guess it's still early to have ALL of the bugs worked out. However, I'm glad to see your getting to this point -->

I have to admit, I'm staying with this thread with a little bit of excitement.
