I'm having vac issues right now so until I fix those I won't be able to see if it changes my boost/power but I wasn't expecting it. I purely got it for sounds and look. Also, DP's are illegal in my area

And PB, I have the manual. The person I purchased it from sent it with the intake thankfully. Although I knew it was easy to find.

Test pipes are illegal everywhere, but I just decided that no cop will look under my hood. Or even notice if they do

I snapped a picture of the cut I made in the cover.

Thanks for the picture! I really hope I find a way around doing that. Are the lines running through the engine different between your engine and my AWM engine? I'm guessing no, but hey you never know!

Also, I believe test pipes are legal in some places, its just a matter of emissions regulations in your area. My state is stupid, and it varies based on county so my family member who owns a shop can't give me a sticker.

Technically any car after a certain year has to have a catalytic converter regardless of emissions testing. My county doesn't do testing but cops have pulled a friend of mine over that doesn't have cats on his mustang gt because they could smell it. But normally cops aren't bad where I am.
As far as the awm fuel lines I don't think you will have the same problem we did, I think it's an aeb thing but idk for sure

That is what I was thinking in terms of the lines being in the way. And my country has special testing to make sure you have a cat, but if I really wanted I could just get it inspected and then swap one in. But I won't be doing that for a while. Not worth it yet.
