very good price, i love it...although i dont like the chrome, i ma have to paint it another color
All I payed was $10 for shipping joeworkstoohard gave me the intake. I plan on getting a AEM filter later Advance has them for $40.

I just installed one this morning, my friend had one lying around that he didnt want...so i got it for 20$!!!!! It sounds AMAZING and went in fairly easily. One note for you, when I installed mine, I found that the bracket that you bolt to the car was upside down. It is open on one side and when I got it that was up, so the bracket kept slipping off the bolt. I bent it back the other way, works like a charm!!! A second not for you, in the how too (which was GREAT - use it!) it just tells you to take the wheel well cover, but you might also want to take the head light and bracket out, it makes the job WAY easier.

yeah, it's a weird fitment in the size, but i guess it works.

note, black07ls had to fit the one i gave him... after i installed my poly mounts, i broke it schooling a civic

Nope, its the first one, before dc started making them even. It was made by a guy named jason smith. he advertised that if someone drove to his shop so he could mock one up that they would get one free..and there it is.

for the strut bar-He was going to, but im not sure if he ever got around to it. His name is jason smith, I will check the sticker on my car after work for the phone for you

thanks! I installed it at 130 in the am....i was impatient haha. A tip for you, take your headlight out, it makes it easier to install the cone filter and hold onto the tube

I went though the headlight also. I would like to find a brace cheaper than the DC so maybe this is it?

if you look around, you can get the DC for about 125 shipped. honestly, for similar money, you'll be MUCH happier with the rear sway bar... i only installed the brace for rice factor.

You need a 3" filter. IMO a AEM dry flow filter is a better choice. It doesn't have oil to get on your MAF and throw a code. You can get the AEM at Advance for $40-45.

I'm looking for a cheaper brace. I had a nice aluminim(sp?) brace on my cavalier and it was only $30 shipped
