I got my exhaust from the same dude you did. Packaging was great and very fast shipping. Didn't get to install it for awhile because of school and work, but I got it on today and I ****ing love the way it sounds. Great buy for the price!

sorry guys, only internet on monday through friday until mine is on at home lol.

update...

My engine came out on saturday with no problems, first pull for 2 of the 3 of us, took about 7 hours taking our time. It was fun, not hard at all. Redneck90m came by and helped.

engine will be ordered on the 5th. I meant to have ordered it this past friday but I miscalculated and was short some cash, so it'll wait til my next check.

onto pics, I'll have a couple more possibly tomorrow, for now you have to deal with cell pics.

My wheels, couldnt really get a better pic, this is on a hill going to the left so the fender gap is worse than it is on level ground.





and the engine pull...



this is one of my back, i got a haircut so no more of that!









now I have to order the engine, de-grease and paint the bay, put the engine in, then put the coils on

Remember what I said, I'll take that KA/transmission off your hands if you don't sell it to your friend. I live in NY and I'm going back up there in July so I'd be able to pick it up on my way probably.

Got my front mount!!

The seller was just-intercoolers, and all their contact info was CXRacing. They're amazing eBay sellers and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Amazing contact, awesome custom service, shipping info given ASAP and they made FedEx send e-mail delivery confirmation so it alerts you it's been delivered. Awesome packaging, quick shipping (6 days), great price, good looking product.

Pics:

Like I said, Packaging was SUPERB!







the core...





ta-daa!





For those who don't remember, the core is 24"x11"x3"Overall is it 31"x11"x3"

nothing new, just waiting on my check. engine will be ordered the 5th and installed sunday the 13th. I'm going to put my core in monday i hope and take pics so that'll be new, and i'll snap some better ones of my wheels. I haven't put the coilovers on yet cuz i dont want the car low until the engine goes in, i want as much clearance for the trans. as i can get. but the coils will go on the 13th when the engine is in

I greatly appreciate everyone's support, thanks so much

I'm sorry I'm really taking my time on the wheel pics, I just want it to be all set, like engine in, then another pic when lowered so you can see the, in all stages.
