Think I'm gonna see what my mechanic will charge to do this. Planning on some EBC slotted rotors with red stuff pads to go with install, and new hub assembly's for the front.

Honestly tried weathertech and Husky liners front and rear,so far both have been a dissapointment,they both curled up so bad especially when the weather is colder that my wifes heal got stuck between the liners and almost fell getting out,these are vinyl,plastic based material that will curl,stick with an all rubber traditional mat,to me this is a gimmick,why all the advertising and sponsoring for some cheap vinyl,which is known to curl up in cold weather especially,just my 2cent after spending almost 400.00.

Spent the day trying to get my catless dps installed. My normal guy won't touch it b/c he's under investigation for doing just that- removing cats. My second option was just a d!*k and tried to say it would take 3+ days, $1500 and there's no room for an X-pipe nor could he even explain the purpose of the xpipe (I asked to gauge level of knowledge for someone touching my vehicle). I laughed at him when he quoted me that ridic price and promptly told him "no thanks, I'm not dropping $1500 on AN INSTALL!" Now I'm waiting on a call back from some guys about an hour's drive away. Solid guys who I have done business with before (10+ years ago).
Just wanted to vent for a moment, something 'simple' has become a major PITA. May be making a call back to Torrie to get these swapped for catted, which will be WEAK.

^^^ wow 1500 for labor, crazy. Go to your local auto zone and ask if there are guys that work from home and have a commercial account at AZ. They'll give you some numbers to mechanics that have small garages, and start calling them. It shouldn't take more then few hours tops, and it shoul be cheap. I know in my area, there are tons of people like that, and all they gotta do is listen few bolts and tighten few bolts. So no engineering there.
Has mine changed twice on my car,a small advice would be to order new gaskets,total four needed for a leak free trouble system,for a professional that knows what hes doing two hours labor is average,catted DP are more than sufficient and your going to see almost the same gains vs non catted and troublefree.

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm still waiting on a callback from my other guys- Abel Racing (http://www.abelracing.com/, sorry had to plug em) and see if they can get me hooked up. I've worked with Andre on my DSM and I am confident in his and his partners skills. They're the local "boost gods" that do a lot of FI Stangs around these parts. They are also one of only a couple dynos around the area, however I don't think it's set for AWD. You gotta hit TX for that last time I checked.. but then again that was like 10+ years ago. I guess it's time to get back in the scene and reconnect with some people?
Plans for this weekend include- 3BAR, Plugs, TStat, Intake (with mod) and possibly a stage2 meth install if I have time.
