I have the bigger box fitted, it doesnt need any mods. Fitment isnt like the OEM and needs more attention, but it DOES fit. I find that lining up the MAF is the first thing to do, then push into place.

racently i was having strange voices coming inside my exhaust and my usuall service was usually charging me a lot so i went to this moroccon guys this time with a advise of friend
he said my katalizator got broken without see
solution option 1 was to change that part of exaust to change that was sound expensive
solution option 2 which we went for he cut that part of exaust take of the catalizator and re connect the exaust with burning them into together and he said my car earn some more horse power now and no more strange voice he charged me 90 euro for this operation. sounds like fair deal ?

Looks like a plot for a new movie 'The ExCrossist'.

Just joking, please note that the writer is in Italy and as I only speak one language I have great respect for someone who can speak another, even if it is a bit lacking in places.

Agree with one hundred80 completely.
I admire ozkancab's ability to post anything in English.
I'd struggle to post a picture in Italian!

Got up bright and early and pulled mine out into the 24 degree early morning sunshine. Headed to Cincy's premier Cars and Coffee (at least that's what they say) and spent a couple hours there. Plenty of Porches, BMW's, Corvette's and Mini's but, one McClaren and one Crossfire. How about that, just are rare as McClaren's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Here's a pic of the McClaren leaving and my Crossie in the upper left hand corner

Painted my calipers today. I have slotted rotors & ceramic pads that I need to install but I need to round up the tools needed first.
