Couple of hours, tough part was getting the bolts off the stock, they were very tight. There are a few tricks to it. I was thinking about making a DIY, not sure if there is enough demand though, I took lots of pics. Anyone with basic mechanical ability, two jack stands and a 15 mm and 9/16 loooonnngggg sockets can do it.

It's a screen that slides in front of the oil coolers for added protection against rocks and such. Click on my sig and then the RB Oil Cooler link.

Dunno about DB, you can hear the exhaust note in the car now even at cruising. And very dramatic at WOT. I like it but am still doing B-Quiet in the doors and trunk because my music is important to me also.

I'm getting the HF Cat soon - I'll be installing the glasspack near the back (easiest to do on the Borla) that Omicron did..

Damn... that's one large cat "unit"... I didn't realize it's not separable from the cat-back pipe. So what's that bulge near the rear on the OEM... some kind of resonator? I'd love to get some "growl" out of the exhaust system like I had on my Miata with a Borla + Jackson racing cat... however the one RX8 I heard with a Borla was hardly any louder than stock. I wonder if this might be the answer...

BTW, the screens and corners look great...
