Yesterday I had an Injen CAI, Motordyne Thermal Plenum Spacer, and Stillen Y Pipe installed. My previous stock Y pipe was damaged at the left flex portion. It had a horrible and loud buzzing and rattling sound.

The aftermarket Y pipe fixed the problem, and all the mods have opened up Ms. Z's lungs. Earlier this year I had Invidia race pipes and a Magnaflow cat back exhaust installed.

Ms. Z revs easier and more freely, is much quieter at idle, and is much louder at regular speed. I only hit above 4,500 once this morning. The power really kicks in around 4,000 RPM.

The rasp that I was experiencing with the race pipes is almost gone probably due to the exhaust note coming through louder and clearer. There's a nice crackle and pop when I rev.

Next mod is headers and tune, but not sure in what order. Not even sure where to get a tune. I'll post pics of the intake. No pics of Y pipe installed or plenum spacer.

Drove it. Enjoyed it. Tried to justify buying more parts for it. It's a sickness.

The Base Model Z got a 380RS pedal. I also ordered some aluminum pedals for it and got some gnarly blisters on my thumbs trying to get them on. I got the brake and accelerator on, Dremel and clutch pedal here I come :P

(and yea, I did soak them in almost boiling hot water)

^ I did mine this past winter and don't remember it being SO horrible.

I read all of the posts saying to heat up the rubber in hot water, etc.

I just used a couple flathead screwdrivers and went to town.

I didn't use the hot water method and in hindsight that would have probably been a good idea. It was definitely a *****- probably 45 mins worth of cussing and sore hands.

I'd get three corners, stick the flathead underneath the final lip of rubber on the pad and pry it out/away until I could catch the lip of the metal pedal plate.

I don't know. I usually don't get blisters but I'm guessing the wetness of pulling the pedal out of watwr, combined with the humidity and the stars' alignment..... all I know is that blisters (or anything regarding my hands) is my "nails on a chalkboard" get the ******* and freak out thing.

I'm going to try to get the clutch on on Sunday. Whether it's zip ties, bubblegum, or duct tape.....it's going on.

And, by spacers, i'm assuming you mean, bump stops to stop the entire undertray from scraping when it drives over white lines in the road
