Well, for the cobb install, you just need to be able to find the ODBII connection, which is on the left of the drivers side underneath the steering wheel.

For the TBE, you'll need a set of wrenches (12/14/16mm iirc) and a O2 puller. Having some WD40 to spray down the nuts a few minute before will help too. The O2 puller is not totally necessary, as you can use an open wrench, but it does make it easier. The hardest parts of the install are just getting all the damn heat shields off.

We'll probably do a install day sometime soon (after New Years). If you want, feel free to bring your stuff by and we can help ya! It makes life SO much easier when you have someone helping you.

hyatt, if you are going catless you are going to need to look up the CEL delete, its super simple to do. If you are not going catless, then your 02 sensor should not throw a CEL.

good luck and if you need any help let me know, i have a list of stuff I'm going to be installing as well!!

I'm a fan of WD-40, but I would suggest PB Plaster instead for this job. spray down the DP bolts at least 30 minutes before you start breaking them loose. if at all possible, take off the IC and spray down the bolts one evening then wake up the next morning and start the DP/exhaust (right after you spray them down again that is). it wouldn't hurt to have new gaskets for the DP. you probably don't *need* them but while you're in there... I also used anti-seize compound on the bolts when reinstalling everything. oh, you might want to have a cheater bar around too unless you have a stock UP to use as one, eh Zack?

+1 on teh PB Blaster. If your car has less than 10k miles on it you won't need gaskets.

Do keep in mind, when you replace pipes, the car WILL SMOKE some when first started - Don't let it give you a heart attack.

Take your time removing the nuts and bolts, you don't want your first time wrenching on the STi to involve drilling out broken studs... Trust me

There are plenty of ppl on the board who have done the procedure MANY times (10+ times myself, lol) so there's plenty of help available, just ask!

cheers,

Necesity is the mother of invention. Some are just more needy than others.

For the TBD install day, I'll bring the combustables to help cut the cool temps.

I got one, its not heated, and its a little small but it will do if you need something that does not need a lot of space.
