I'm interested in seeing some up-close pictures of these high-flow cats. I hope they have the quality to back up the fine price.

I have purchased them but I don't have them on yet, the quality looks good though. Hopefully will be putting them on in a couple of weeks.

You're going to need a camera.

Once you have the pictures, upload them onto a website that will host pictures, eg. Facebook, Imageshack, Photobucket. Then copy the image location.

Then come back to this thread and do this ----> [img]***[/img]

The *** is the copy of the image location, paste it in that spot.

I installed Fast Intentions HFC's on my car a few weeks ago. It was a piece of cake. Did it myself - no helper. It took about 2 hours since I take my time. I had to step away a few times just to remain calm.

So far, I love the performance. While I've not dyno'd it, it does seem to rev more freely.

No what i meant was that installation of teh hfc was bad not that they cause probelsm after they are installed. When the car was assembled in Japan the exhaust engine and transmission i think were all put together then just put onto the car so the bolts on the stcok cats for teh 07 were ubelieveably tight(Tony @ Fast Intentions todl me this story) and cannot be taken off without breaking. Basically you just need a couple tools that most people do not have lying around. And i've seen it firsthand. When my test pipes were off my car i let a felow forum memmber use them and he could not install them. Just had teh bolts on his stock cats break off and teh actaul bolt still inside the flang. For this reason 07+ install costs 150 compared to 75 for 30-06. Good luck though. Mad respect if you can install these yourself and when they are install im pretty sure you will completly satisfied.

What shops would install a HFC in our area? I only have 18k on my car, if it's that hard to remove the bolts with that kind of mileage I'll consider a shop.
