if u plan on going turbo sometime why did you buy a new header ,cat,and exhaust waste of money In my opinion should have just saved that since you will be needing a T manifold and a down pipe connecting to most likely a new exhaust

because its just an ebay noise maker that i bought as a set to mellow me as i drive home. its going to take me atleast a year to buy all the parts picked and ordered because i like to do everything at once. not pull my motor and have it apart for 10 months while i find and buy parts and do everything... although maybe i will buy a D16Z6 i saw on craigslist and build that and just keep my cars engine as it is until im done building.

Well the alarm and sub kit are from a local audio shop. but everything else is from ebay. ive bought pioneer navigation systems, phones, shoes, and car accesories and hav never had a problem with them. as long as u research and find good honest sellers you can find great stuff.

yesss sir it works with an iphone because thats what i have lol. just turn on airplaine mode when you plug it is so you donr get thoes stupid beeping noises when you get a txt. if you switch it over to "manual" control you have full control over your iphone, not the radio.
