Default GMBCS install help

Anyone install one of these on a WRX? The benefit seems great for the price... I know its pretty common to do, and I've looked at some tuturials/how-to's on Nasioc so it doesnt look too hard but would prefer to have help (especially if you have done it before). I can pay you some but not much (however I have a keg of beer always on tap at the house you are welcome to ).

I dont have the parts yet, but it seems as though it can all be picked up at a local advance auto parts or autozone...

Also I plan on getting PnP Grimmspeed Headers very soon, anyone help me with those too? (mostly need lift/good jacks and stands)

P.S. I dont want to take it to S&R to get it done, I want to work on it aswell to learn and what not.

Thanks for the pic, I generally know what to do and what goes where from how-to's and what goes where but I get the feeling I'm gunna open her up and get stuck on something and be SOL.

Also if it matters... I live in Brandon/East Tampa so I can meet up with you or you can come here (super easy to get to from 75) and weekends would be best

both are pretty easy to do. BCS only requires some extra tubing and then you have to figure out how you want it mounted. I personally just left mine hanging and never had any issues because it was still in a confined space.

Headers are easy as well, 5 bolts... as long as you don't get them ceramic coated still in one piece making it so you can't pull them apart... lol

Ha I'll do 4 extra bolts for the ceramic coating... its the getting under the car and working on it part thats hard. I would def need a garage or something (live in a townhouse complex so I have a parking lot... heh) Again an extra set of hands would always be nice... more worried about the BCS install
