Yeah, this. Unless I can get my hands on a very good camera then I just don't think it is worth it.

Also to those interested in the ramps:

Yes, he is referring to the connection point of the stock catalytic converter and our cat back system. The flange is a 2 bolt configuration and there are two of them.

If you retain the stock cats on the car you do not need to upgrade the gaskets there. It will make not one bit of a difference in terms of sound or performance. He probably wants to change them for peace of mind though.

Yup. Exactly this. It was a cheap purchase and it wasn't any extra work, so I figured it couldn't hurt.

How is the ground clearance because I hear people saying that its barely lower than stock but it always looks so dangerously low on pictures

Ground clearance is no problem. On stock ride height, I cannot see it scraping. I have the FI CBE on stock ride height I have not had a problem at all! :tup:

Main reason is many people that have taken pictures of the FI CBE have lowered their cars. The other reason is usually because of the angle of the shot makes it look lower than it actually is.

Good review! I was #75. I was going to post up a review of my setup when I got it <18" resonators, SS mufflers, RTPs> but there were so many reviews already that are all pretty much the same I said forget it. That should speak volumes about the quality of the product!

If you REALLY want to uncork the sound of the VHR add some test pipes to the FI CBE...its a game changer.

Nice review...Can't wait for mine!!

It isn't even close to bad. Trust me here, I have a pretty terrible driveway.

Even if you lowered the car modestly you would be okay. You only have something to worry about if you slam your car, although you would be worrying about everything scraping at that point.
