We don't check references here on this forum, but if you insist, we'd be more than happy to accommodate ;)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Can anyone clue me in on the difficulty of installing downpipes? I'm looking to get the PPE Catted DPs because one of my looks severely damaged. Can this be done on a set of ramps? How long should I allot to tackle it?

Yes...ramps will work, but a lift is better... hardest part is getting the O2 sensors out... otherwise it's like six bolts in and out (or vice versa.

I'd soak the bolts in some PB Blaster first, just in case they are too intimate with the downpipes 😀

Thanks guys!

Before I do downpipes though, I had to buy a rack for my 29er and my girlfriends bike so we can hit the trails. I went with the Seasucker:


It should be here Friday, so I'll post reviews. I'm also going to start a thread about it somewhere on here.

Compared to countless other transverse applicaruins, the SHO DP install appears delightfully easy. Easily accessed and no removal of other components to access them! Have at it, DIY.

Here's the Seasucker with my 29er. I'm not sold on the orientation, but I will play with it.

After lurking around here for a while, I found someone post the trunk organizer part number (9A5Z-78115A00-AA) and a picture. I decided to do some browsing, and found one on the ol' Ebay for $80 OBO. I offered $60, and it was accepted. I shouldn't be as excited as I am about a cargo organizer...

I guess I should clarify that the picture shown is not mine. I don't have mine yet. The current issue is that the seller was only charging $20 for shipping, but:
