car revs like a damn dirtbike now, god only knows what my long term fuel trims must have been, ive seen clogged filters before, where if you blew on the in side you couldnt get anything through the out side, this thing was so bad black **** was pouring out of the in side. Hopefully i can get it to pass state inspection today after i replace the vvt solenoid on the exhaust side in a little bit. That should be pretty much it except for the evap code which hasnt come back, and i found that my gas cap was left completely off last time i filled up for gas.

Idk if a stock LNF downpipe would fit. Since its an aftermarket kit I wasn't sure if it would work. I was thinking about that the other day.

got to install my new VMS antenna this morning, ripped the antenna housing right off the shitty spot welded mount in the trunk but that thing holds tight as **** in the rubber base when you push it back up in.

I had forgotten about them lol sorry. Ok well here's the story. 3 injectors have been inside my house laying around. The other was laying around also but then I blew a seal on one of my current injectors and I tried replacing it with the seals from this one. Well they were too big lol. But yeah that one stayed outside in my tool box. Its the one on the far right.
