Its been a while since I've updated this thread, I've been busy sourcing and acquiring another project. Since the weather broke here in the northeast I've been trying to just enjoy the car as much as possible.

Finally pulled the trigger on a CSL style carbon fiber lip, after wanting one for almost two years I figured it was about time to stop dreaming. Since I've had such great customer service in the past with Status Gruppe and hearing great reviews from other I went with their 1x1 carbon lip. After a good douching, I drove the car up some blocks.

Mocked up the lip to try and make sure I had it nice and centered.

Far from a photographer, but I can't pass up the opportunity for a picture

Thanks, its complete straight pipe. I'm thinking I want to add a muffler to clean up the noise a bit, but we'll see.

Quick update: I installed the headers and uncatted Supersprint section 1 without any major issue. Install is straight forward, but it definitely a bear of a job.

Most dreadful part of any job with this car is getting it up in the air….


With the expansion tank moved out of the way it opens up access to the heat shields and the actual exhaust manifold bolts from the top.




The most difficult part of the job is removing all 18 bolts holding the exhaust manifolds in. Unfortunately for me during the removal process all of the studs were unscrewed from the head which at first didn't seem like a big deal, but actually made the installation process much more difficult than it needed to be. Although I replaced all of the hardware associated with this project and reused all oem bolts the only hardware I reused were the studs. They were in great shape all of the threads were perfect, I cleaned all of the threads before reinstalling the studs.


Manifolds removed, I was able to remove 14 of the 18 nuts from the top. Some have said you can remove all 18, but I see no need to struggle doing that when they're easily accessed from the bottom.
