Another addition to the Stafford Fab. Family

Yourinmyw0rld's car is almost complete here. We are now looking at 3 hours into the installation, and we have the oil lines run, the pan tapped, the fuel system installed and tested, and the intercooler mounted.

he will be driving it home tonight, and it will probably take him a lot less time than it took him to get here.

so since the ex is gonna have a downpipe included, is the ex kit going to cost more? or are both kits going to include the downpipe? and will it have a cat on it? and would it need o2 simulators?

Cat, what about the HX models regular 5sp., no CVT! Are you guys doing anything for that car or will the ex stuff fit on it? Since the motors are almost the same.

the only differences between the cars (i think) is the exhaust. As long as yours has the ex or lx exhaust on it, it will fit.
