Well I made the decision and purchased the Joe Z Exhaust, Joe Z Intake, and F Sport rear sway bar. I installed everything myself and I was pleased with the quality. It made installation a lot easier the way everything fit right. I bought everything from Luis at Carson Toyota and picked it up myself. Luis helped a lot by staying in contact with me and trying to get my order ready on time. Joe Z helped a lot as well. He made sure the exhaust was ready in time to go to Carson Toyota and he kept me updated with emails. In the end I'm very happy with the customer service and the products.

Exhaust: I installed the exhaust in a 1 car garage. The front was up on drive on ramps and the rear was up on jack stands. I wouldn't do it that way again, but it was friday night and i didnt have access to a lift. Installation would have been a lot faster. It took me almost 2 hours doing it myself on the ground. The exhaust fit great and the quality is awesome. I found that WD40 is your friend on this install. I used it on all the rubber parts, stock bolts, and O2 sensors for removal. The exhaust sounds great. Its the perfect tone. I know the computer needs time to relearn, but i did notice instant gains in HP.

Intake: The intake was also great quallity and installed in minutes. The only thing i noticed is that the 2 large vacuum lines are almost loose when installed on the new intake. It is probably because the intake isnt barbed at the end like the factory intake. I removed the factory clamps and pulled them out a little and reinstalled. It helped a little bit, but thats the only thing i noticed. Maybe my stock lines are just getting old and stretched. The intake is great though.

F Sport rear sway bar: I installed the sway bar while the rear section of the exhaust was off. Quick and easy install. The bar looks great in blue (even though you dont see it under the car). While test driving the car I took some tight corners and the car felt a lot more stable and balanced. A great cheap upgrade.

Overall all the parts and prices were great. The car now sounds, handles and performes a lot better.

Attached are some pictures of what I had to work with as far as space and a couple videos so you can hear the exhaust.

No problem sir, glad u like it lolz... just contacted Sikky we need a group buy for header

 

nice start, I just install the fsport sway bar as well...wow what a difference...

 

nice modding choices I like

now you need some headers

 

Great mods! Those are the exact mods I'm getting after my first oil change

 

Congrats , very nice jop bro

 

+1 on some headers..lol..

 

Great work! Just hearing the Joe Z exhaust alone makes it worth the price!

 

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention I had previously installed Tein H Tech springs, so those are all my mods so far. As far as headers go, I would love to have a set of them but by big concern is the wonderful california smog laws. I would have to swap them out to pass smog.

 

Not really Brad , just tip the guy

 

+1 on the group buy..
