Emissions test? Where are you at that you're required to have an emissions test?!

Alot of people say SLP and K&N CAI but I really wouldn't know which would be better. I know SLP is famous and well known but I think K&N are more high quality in this situation

Sounds like you are missing a couple clips that hold it in place.

No you do not have true duals. A wider S-Pipe and High-Flow Cat will help your performance. You can go 3" like the Borla cat-back (which is really an S-Pipe-back), SLP CAI, Whisper Lid and SLP Air Filter...

PS. This is kind of hard to explain but if you look on your door panel at where the pw and pl buttons are and find the surrounding outline of those buttons, like the whole group of them, that area inside that line popped out of my door and it kinda just floats there with the wires being visible and it's getting very annoying because it's causing the wiring to become messed up and it's messing with the electric current to the passenger window because it will not roll up all the way at some times. Anyone know how I can fix this? Remember, the buttons aren't popped out, the whole thing containing them is.

Those with the window motor failing may be VERY interested in this:

So get a high-flow cat instead, then you get more power with better flow, and hopefully no rasp. ;-)

What price range do high flow cats float around?
