Bassani exhaust is installed and sounds sick!!!! Very aggressive and throaty no rasp or drone at all. I have been driving around everywhere with the windows down just listening. Worth every penny. Install took me about 3 1/2 hrs and requires mostly 10mm and a 12 mm. Needed one person to help me out when I had to install the mufflers and plan on doing some small adjustments on the tips in the next couple days. I will post a video as soon as I get a chance.

Hey OP I have a question for you Regarding the Injen CAI and the install. Do you find that on the right side (passenger side) where the intakes come through the hole, and down in front of the radiator, that you have fitment issues? Im referring to the 90 degree hose / pipe right there that goes into or out of the resevior (i believe its for the AC??) I noticed mine sits on top of it, and is causing it to kind of sit higher, and actually pushing on the front bumper. On that side of the car, at about 5 MPH and slowing down, I notice a distinct vibration / rumble over in that side of the car, and wondering if thats causing it. Plan on taking off the bumper to check it out this weekend, any input would be great.
I also posted this in another thread, rather ask around than start a whole new thread and have the mods rage and close it on me lol

I noticed a increase in throttle response and torque at 4800 rpm after the intake. No real difference after the exhaust BUT I do need to hook up the scan tool to see if I am running rich or lean. I don't smell any gas but I was expecting to feel a slight difference after the exhaust

I don't have this issue. And I know exactally what part your talking about. It is a a/c. Line and you might want to try 2 things. The 90 degree elbow might be to far forward. Get just a little bit of white grease put it around the inside rim of the elbow and see if you can push it any farther up the piping. If not check the bracket where the horn was. Make sure it is attached properly and not loose. Other than that you got me.

So when we were installing the ART pipes yesterday I went a head and took the front bumper off to figure out the fitment issue. Loosened up the intake completely and pushed it farther up. This definitely helped the issue of it resting on the AC pipes, but created another issue where it was pushing against the light. Went a head and loosened the part where the rubber tube connects to the injen pipe and pushed that up. This helped clear all fitment issues and everything sits nice. I noticed the passenger side has less room than the driver side which is what may cause the issue. Also, the horn bracket provided was vibrating around even though it was cranked very tight. I went a head and zip tied it down so nothing moves any more. Intake fitment issue solved
