Tip: you don't have to remove the catalytic convertor when removing the exhaust manifold. Remove it from the engine compartment from the bottom.

Did it, I forgot how much I can't stand exhaust work. Hope I have no leaks. All I have left is the Alt/PS assy, and some fab work, NISMO to Zspeed undertray mods.

Thanks

You will need to separate the cat from the manifold b/c it is easier to install the intake pipe then the air cleaner then the exhaust manifold then the cat,the reason is it's a bitch to line up the air filter with the exhaust manifold and cat already in the car.

Next question, (this will never end) after some research on BOV's, it looks like we should be closed at idle. My valve will not a-just to closed, Turbosmart sells higher rate springs.

The only thing this should change is the hiss at idle and a small chance of intake charge contamination.

In the GTM 1.0 you recycle the BOV air but in the 1.5 and 2.0 it is open. If you through a belt you would sucking in unfiltered air. I am going to put a small K&N on my valve and get the correct spring to close at idle.
