CDN 2.5i

Did my doors this weekend - lengthy writeup is here http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/mass-loaded-vinyl-soundproofing-very-133782.html

Thought I would reference sounddeadenershowdown.com here. It's a good read on the how and why of sound deadeners. I've recently ordered some B-Quiet Ultimate and mass loaded vinyl. The MLV, or similar equivalents like composite products such as Luxury Liner, are what you need to really soundproof your car from road, suspension, or exhaust type noise. That is my primary goal now, to make the car nice and quiet for road trips etc. (in addition to making the stereo sound better). I'll do the install sometime in May - I'll probably do the doors before then, but I'm planning to do the full floor of the car on the May long weekend.

why don't you just try BP/BL Legacy S Techs ? If there was cross compatibility, it would have been mentioned long ago and if you searched, you would know.

I'm still waiting for definitions for the '05 2.5i manual... there's been little movement since Merchgod went to Cobb.

MonkeyHermit's vid needs a better annotation - full details are "Ceramic coated Borla UEL headers, RandomTech HFC, extended stock mid & y pipe with inline Magnaflow resonator, Prodrive axlebacks"

N.sane, perhaps flip the order of the first two of my vids. The one in the middle currently has the stock mufflers and no resonator, then the one that is first should show magnaflows with factory resonator followed by the last one with borla replicas and magnaflows... Shows the progression more I think. Also, should see about getting this thread stickied.

MSI is selling their private label Eibachs - check the GB forum.

Not a waste... but I would try better pads first. It's a significant difference. Doesn't look any different but noticeably improved braking. Stainless lines too. I painted my stock calipers (black) as part of my gripe with my stock brakes was the appearance. So, painting them helped - still not as pretty as a bbk though.

When did the lines change for the rear? Are you sure about this? I used the Techna-Fit GT 6 line package that I got from RavSpec back in 2007 without any problems on my '05 2.5i.

For the Canadian market '05 2.5i, it should definitely be a straight swap with the header you posted. Bolt-on and go :-) Post a pic of your existing factory header if you need confirmation.

that looks to be the same header for sure... they were being manufactured overseas and sold by a couple of different vendors. Price is about right. Ship it to a US address and import it yourself to save on the exorbitant freight to Canada. If you have an '05 as per your mini signature, it'll bolt right up. Possible clearance issue with power steering line as detailed in other posts. You can install it at home yourself but if you notice its contacting, take it to a muffler shop to get it tweaked correctly (and more easily than you could do yourself, unless you have the tools etc).

Just did the parking brake adjustment today - just as described, turning the wheel behind the grommet. Worked great. E-brake lever now engages where it should again.
