Might help to get a service manual if you can. I havent done one so I cant say, but i think the service manual would be the biggest help.

The install looks fairly easy according to the stillen instuctions.

Does anyone know of a place to get a used 04 VB?

I need a OEM VB since it costs more to upgrade my stillen VB.

I plan on going with GTM's VB since they are close.
