Because you replied to his post. Like I am to your's.

And this is not a sign of agreement. Unless you enjoy being called stupid.

The stainless metric allen head bolts are the way to go. Also, for what its worth, for the 11 retaining bolts on the valve cover, the two bolts that hold the spark plug wire brackets down, and the six nuts for the strut towers...it was only like 18 bucks and change. Well worth it for how clean it looks. Only thing is that it can get expensive when doing an entire engine bay in them. I don't even want to think about how much I have into all the stainless hardware in the engine bay of my Z32 lol

we polished the letters before painting the valve cover, painted the entire valve cover, then went over the letters with acetone on qtips to get all the paint, primer, and clear coat off...very time consuming but it turned out awesome. you can also tape off the letters, its up to you. what color are you planning on painting yours??

One of the local guys has an HKS 3" on his S14 and it sounds good. I have a Blitz 3" and it sounds pretty good as well. Both are decently quiet but let you know they're there when you get in the gas with nice low notes at idle.

EDIT: And he said the fitment was spot on with the HKS; everything lined up perfectly. Dunno about the Blitz since it came on the car.

Yeah with the stock rubber hangers it sure did bounce around a lot. Definitely rock solid now.

I got those too!! Only thing is they suck @ss trying to put them on, since they don't flex like the rubber ones. But I can pretty much stand on the tip of my Apexi N-1 and it doesn't budge.
