The amp is SOLD I was going to run that big *** amp with two 12" MTX's but now I am going for a smaller amp and one 12" so I still got truck room left.

The tein Basics are coming out in April. These will probably be the way I go to lower my ride as long as they are around $700 or so.

Correct-o They suggested retail is like $990 so if they don't sell them any cgeaper they won't sell them since you can get the danged adjustables for $200 more.

What are you guys running as far as stereo systems go?

I am thinking of running a MTX 6500D amp with one 12" MTX 8000 sub.

Bobby go with two 12" or even two 10" yo should still have trunk space.

Tomo as for installing those teins I cant just work around your schedule one minute you can do it then the next you can't
and you said you want to sell your exhaust to me I thought we were going to trade even for my factory setup? well then i think have to charge for installing your teins (aleast something for my time)

The header on my hatch was a big bitch. Had to pull the motor to get it in.

Is the OBX just the top half? That should be super easy. You could do that with hand tools.

if its the top half, you probably only need like a torque wrench, and some wrench for the o2 sensor. i believe theres 1 or 2 bolts for the heat shield, 5 on the header itself, then 3 where the header and the downpipe meet. then just put everything back on. if its a header+downpipe, just jack up the front of the car, and take out the header.. then unbolt the downpipe where it meets the cat.. put the header back on, then the downpipe.

The OBX is header + downpipe. And it came with a high flow cat. I don't trust my self doing it. That is why I ask if someone wanted to put them on for me. I ask autowerks they saided $75 just for the header. I saided f**k that.

I am not sure on that one. I hear you will still need that soemthing to trick the ecu cause the cat will still throw and engine light on. I think you should go to www.unleadedracing.com and get their number and ask them a price.
