I'd help but I know nothing about new cars. Now if you said you need to install a carb, I'd be right over to help haha. Plus you are kinda far away.

Are you planning to install everything in a single day?

The mounts, rear sway and SRI should be pretty easy. I don't know enough about anything else.

Which JBR rmm are you going with? I am going to order the chromolly when I actually get some other stuff squared away (parts sitting that need installed).

Are you changing out your endlinks on the rear end too with the sway bar?

the TIP is a pain, but doable. the SRI will take all of 30 min. the sway bar shouldn't take much longer than that. the internals on the other hand, i have heard can take an hour or two, but since your going to have the battery box/ECU out to do the TIP, that takes a decent amount of time off that. DP on the other hand, will be a bit of a project. Your speed isn't that old, so the nuts for the DP on the turbo shouldn't be TOO bad (compared to an 07 with 80K on the clock). plus, i don't know if the new DP will mate with the stock exhaust. I'm sure that someone a little more knowledgeable than me will chime in, but this is all coming from what i have read.

*disclamer: I have only done SRI and BPV, but have watched a BUNCH of youtube vids*

Im not going with the DP right now until I butter up the techs at the dealership lol. I decided to get the ssqv instead. I might also get the CS front strut bar.

I like the note of mine, though its the more expensive of the ones on the market. The forge V2 is supposed to sound good, without the sound of clashing swords that the V1 made. Its also one of the cheapest that i have seen. Just make sure that you get a valve that does re-circulation, or hybrid. strait BOV will screw with your car and make it run like crap.

*edit* I looked, and the Cobb is like $70 less, and if you want, i can go for a drive tomorrow and record the sound.
