Until earlier this week all I've had done to the car was a set of Eibach lowering springs and Borla Atak catback. I was happy with these mods... for a start :)

The lowering springs made the car look better, and of course the catback made it sound much much better, and louder! But was it enough? I guess the title says it all.

Steeda CAI, ARH headers and Lund Racing tune, all were installed 2 days ago, and I'm glad I went with all those choices. The Steeda CAI looks great under the hood, and combined with the Lund Racing tune, there was definitely a huge difference. Add LTHs and it's like a whole different car, it responds better, drive better and much smoother. And if I ever thought my car was loud with the Borla Atak, it's much much more louder now, and sounds even better. Also, I've added the Reische 170° Thermostat.

Those mods weren't exactly cheap, but they were well worth it. I had to have everything shipped from the USA and it was hassle free, thanks to Jared from Lethal Performance and David from Steeda. Really great customer service from both vendors and definitely will be dealing with them again in the near future.

I will try my best to take a good video to show how the car sounds, cause it is simply awesome. But for now here's a picture of the CAI installed. Cheers!

Thanks! It's amazing how these things make the car that much better.

I didn't do it myself I live in an apartment. I paid $325 to get the headers and CAI installed. Not bad I'd say.

I'm not located in USA. The mechanic took about 6 hours to install everything, I'm sure most of that time was spent on the headers. Yet, $350 is a lot of money for any installation, BUT with headers it seems about right.

Looking good Kashaway! Can't wait to see some vids of that beast in action.

We appreciate the business very much. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with in the meantime.

Jared :cheers:

run away! I would not pay for more than 6 hours of labor, plus I won't do an install at a shop without a set price. If they range the hours, you'll pay the maximum.
