Actually I got lucky and got them used as well as the front and rear mounts all for only $1000. The package retails for $2000 new!

 

I now have:
GReddy EVO catback exhaust
Intake Silencer removed
debadged trunk lid

How do you like the up-pipe? Any CEL problems? That will be my next mod, followed by the downpipe and then engine management.
Luckily for me, there's a shop about an hour away that carries ECUs for $400 bucks. They say they will soon have the software to reflash them on site. I'll probably get a whole new one cause of the downtime needed to send mine out.

 

gregfeder...
what did you run at the strip that day?
And where in Jersey are you? I grew up in Jerz.

 

That day was just autocrossing at Giants stadium... I'm in Robbinsville about ten minutes out of trenton and about ten minutes out of princeton. Right in the middle of New Jersey! No cel problems with the Uppipe but my turboback is giving me a Cel. I heard that greddy evo is pretty quiet, I was looking at that too! Two black scoobs with quiet exhaust... thats what its all about

 

I lived in Princeton for three years.
The GReddy pipe sounds good. It's not too loud, but not too quiet.
It sounds like a twin cylinder sportbike, like a TL-1000R.
What kind of downpipe do you have?
fastwrx.com has a kit for the CEL. I think it works with any sensor.

 

By the way, what does the Forge dump valve sound like?

 

I have a turboxs downpipe. I'll have to look into that fix, hope it works for the '04. The Forge dump valve is pretty inexpensive and bolts right onto the factory screw locations. You can get it factory direct from forge in england for $158 shipped! It's about a medium loudness psssh. Not overbearingly loud but loud enough to be heard down the street!
