I hear ya man. I'm actually surprised I don't scrape my exhaust very much but I think it's a little higher than the Nismo... at least from comparing how close the Nismo was to the M-brace because there is plenty of clearance with the Stillen.

I think me, you, and Adam had some of the lowest Zs out there

It's okay though, when I got home I saw my PM and forgot all about the raffles
Me too, I was like the best raffle prize ever! Still busy demodding. Get your call yet?

Still no call

The demodding begins next weekend. What all do you have to take off? I have to take off my pulley, headers, test pipes, plenum spacer, and intake... I'm just not looking forward to the headers

Last I heard from Jeremy was they are trying to get the long blocks in they will start calling to schedule.

That is one reason I'm ditching the Xerds and going with Crawfords. At least off of the Crawfords I can start the bend around the unibody and get out from under the car.

Look for my matte black side mounted tater guns next year.

Everything is going back to stock:
Xerd Headers (took 3.5 hours)
AMS radiator
Pullies (took 30 minutes)
Crawford plenum, modified lower plenum and lower intake manifold
Pop Charger
Samco Hoses
Oill cooler
Oil pan spacer
Wideband sensor
oil temp sensors
grounding kit
My custom strut brace
Python clamps
Pull the sparcos out and slap the OE seats in (to be nice to the tech)
might even raise it since it will be in ATL and those roads are so good.
I'm gonna leave the Catback I think.

I'm more amazed at how the install of headers took 3.5 hours. Do you have any guide or tips? I'm sure it won't be as bad this time but it seemed that draining the coolant and getting the coolant piping off is what took me the longest.

Grab a5 gal bucket, pull the plug. Start on the drivers side while it drains. When finished with the drivers side, grab a 12mm and around 18" of extension, pull plug and start on passenger's side. Leave the last bottom bolt on each until you are under the car (that gives the antifreeze tiime to dry up a little. As you drop the last nut, shover the manifild in and put the same nut onit. repeat for the other side. You can finish the rest up top. Easy.

I'll probably be selling the Xerd Headers, my Stop tech rotors, and a few other things. I'm gonna wait until I get the new motor broken in before I commit to anything else.
