That rotary expert may help you avoid any mistakes. We all just want you to be successful on your first try.

Ok, Wasnt tryna be **** but just the way you put it dude. Also I know it's not like rebuilding a piston engine, if it was I wouldn't be here looking for advice and yes I will be getting expert advice either way haha.

I'll just add that please don't put a K&N intake on it, you're better off with the stock airbox. There is no power to be found there on these cars.

HA it may take me a while man I don't plan on cutting any corners. As for the k&n I'm not going to be doing it for power increase just to compliment the gutted cat and cat back. If anything I'd looking for mpg but I know better then to get my hopes high.
