Yeah, they are kinda like the B16/ITR manifolds with a little better flow. I need one since I have a geezer IM. :(

Love that paint job!

I'd say your best bet would be to remove the rear plastic and mark exactly where to cut. The ends of the J's racing bar or any knock off require a pretty large hole. I'd suggest a square cut as small as you can make it. I was in a rush and jacked it up so now I need to buy new plastics and re-do the cut and that's the reason why I will not take close up pics just yet. And yes I do like to take pics. I fit in with all the other pic whores on this forum. ;) You all know who you guys are.

Yeah, the only time I pay for installation is when I am lazy or when it requires machining or intensive wire diagrams. I suck at electronics. I suggest remembering exactly where every hose and plug goes. There are a couple plugs that could be mixed up. That's it

Don't know. I need to save up to tune my ECU and never dyno'd yet. Like I've said before........" It scores high on the ass dyno." :D

You use the seat belt bolts. On the plastic piece that covers your B and C pillar there is a slit where the rear shoulder belt exits the plastic. You mount each end to where the seat belt top mount is bolted to the chassis. If you bought a real J's racing one there should be directions with pics. The only difference is that teh USDM model plastic needs to be cut open to reveal the bolt. The believe from the J's racing direction pics that the JDM B and C pillar plastic does not need to be cut like my girls 6th gen hatch. The rear top seat belt mounts are outside of the B and C pillar mounts. Here's a pic of a guys car I found. He cut it a lot better than I did.

Dude I know just got that manifold for his GSR swapped EK, looking forward to seeing his gains.

I won't have much of a problem installing that bar since rear interior is stripped, hehe.

The high end gains are very noticeable and throttle responce has been improved a bit. I highly suggest this mod. On a GSR the gains must be even better.
