life would have been much easier if I had a vice though. Imagine gutting your pipe while "standing" on it, or holding it with your wrists. ouch!

Don't gut an uppipe. It's not worth it. Trust me. Try spending 10 hours gutting a pipe, only, while "polishing" it, you accidently drill a hole in the side, voiding all your work. There was some dumb guy on here that did that. Poor sucker! haha! Just buy a STI uppipe new for $200. Downpipes, on the other hand, are cake. Just start hammering.

Cooling Fan Relay Issue now a recall campaign

no - if it's really toast, it's on ALL THE TIME -
I meet the minimum stage 2 requirements - which is a gutted downpipe - but i'm too chicken to run a stage 2 map. I did run one for a week - but didn't feel a HUGE boost over stage 1 - because i think my STI uppipe and fully gutted stock downpipe wasnt enough to breathe the boost levels stage 2 puts out. So I run a stage 1 - which lets me feel at "peace". I am trying PDX for 2 things - Throttle remapping - to get rid of the delay, and the 2300 RPM studder I still have.

If i can reccomend something - go Stage 1 with a Gutted Downpipe/Gutted Uppipe. No CEL's, and almost all the power, plus topend (where our cars suffer) of Stage 2 without the added risk of pushing everything to the very limits. Thats how I've been for almost a year now! It's cheaper, more "dealer friendly" and more stealthy. Plus a little more comfortable.
