How difficult are the grounding wires to install? Is it pretty straight forward? I was contemplating getting them ...

So your having to suffer threw the extra bit of waiting cuz of the delayed mufflers? Sounds like Tony has a plan together so that the delay gets minimized! I got lucky that i ordered the CF Mufflers so i was able to get mind as scheduled.

Grounding wires are dead simple!!!! They don't replace anything, just add extra grounding wires. So all you do is run the wires around the engine bay and tap into screws that are already there. I went with the Stillen and then did things slightly different then the directions. If you go that route, hit me up i'll give a more detailed rundown of what i did.

But only do the grounding wires for looks, i just don't see how adding a bit of extra grounds to a brand new car could make any noticeable difference.

I got the CF mufflers too, but I have a ~8 week wait. heh. I bought the LTH headers from theDreamer and shortly called up Tony to get the rest of the exhaust...maybe they'll ship sooner...?

Ok, cool, yeah I didn't really understand how the wires would help anything, but I give Stillen credit for knowing more about the car than I do. heh.

Maybe I'll hold off on the wires, but if I do get them I'll ping you. Thanks dood - Looking forward to your photo-shoot w/the new exhaust...

Just installed almost a complete set of Z1 Silicone last night. Took about 3 1/2 hours by myself to get it all taken apart and put back together. Only real hard part was getting the brake booster hose off and the new one back on.

Finally found the right pressure for the bolts. i think i over tightened them at first and was getting a different rattle on small share bumps in the road... But now i think everything is setup right!!!
