Awesome, thanks! Another question if I may...I'm seriously considering gutting the stock UP, DP, and mid so I can pass the visual smog inspection. Is there a significant performance difference between doing this and getting cobb stuff? If so, any suggestions on how to get around smog? Also, I keep reading a lot about leaving at least one cat. Why might I do that? Will I not pass the sniff test if I remove all three? Do people install cobb pipes, then put stock back in for tests? Okay, enough questions.

Exactly where are the cats on this car?

Nuff about the definition of a stage. Anyhoo, I'd like to interject a question. I'm in the process of accumulating what I need for stage two (UP, DP, etc.). Is there any reason I should do stage 1.5 (DP and tune) before, say, getting an UP? I get the impression these are the logical steps to go through. So, my question is should I get my DP before an UP. Does it matter?

I think unplugging it from underneath would be much easier. Good idea though.

I've got a reason to do this method rather than the 20 in/out. I tried the in/out method several times and must be one of the retards that just can't get it to work! Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
