Stay stock...lol

Anyway, all 3 are okay. You will only get a few horsepower or some will say...maybe not more than 1 hp. I have a drop-in k&n filter, and i didn't feel any difference at all. The k&n drop-in filter is a little bit expensive than a regular air filter, but this one will last long.

I have to put a cat on my car for inspection in January and was wondering if anyone had access to a lift or even a big jack I guess. When I installed my midpipe I barely got it in and honestly did not feel 100% safe working on the car(couldn't get it high enough for my liking, but it was high enough for most of the install.) I know I really don't know anyone on here to well but any help would be appreciated., I know a lift is not needed to do this but I am just seeing if its available or not.

I have a big jack and jack stands if you want to stop over and do it. I live in Southern Highlands.

yep! do you have a link for the BHR ones, been wanting to get the coils from them for a while. Now would be a good time. Not red anything about the fuel pump though.

All the parts need to be OEM for them to declare the engine has failed. You can't have aftermarket coils installed. You do have the option of getting all of those parts at other places. For instance, Phil has a good fuel pump I believe, you might be able to borrow it for the test.

OEM Coils and Engine Mounts can be found online. They are significantly cheaper when purchased outside of the dealership. Check a few of the vendors here. I think I have seen engine mounts for like $125 per and a coil pack for about $150, all OEM. Don't quote me on that those prices though, I could be wrong.

If you are dealing with centennial, they were totally cool with me finding my parts elsewhere and still replaced my engine once I had everything to spec.

Good luck.
