Good choice you're going to like the RSB.
Loving it already! Love that instant gratification

Got with the trends and did the Brake Boost lowering / pedal firming and the heartbeat start/stop OBDII mods.
I'm still fighting the urge to get a downpipe. Three day weekend would have been a bit terrible time to do it though.
As my Subi neighbor said: just send that shit. A dp install on ramps is not difficult at all.
How do you like the brake booster change?
Lol that should have read *not* a terrible time to do it.
Yeah, I'm not afraid of the install. I'm excited for it.
Brake booster...I think it feels firmer. I didn't A/B it with the stock setting but overall it seems less mushy and easier to modulate. I'm happy I did it.
Well, hurry up and send that shit!
Let me guess: you have Monday off like all normal folks? Cause I don't and now need a reason to feel jealous.
I always have Monday off. I work Tuesday through Friday.
Picked up a set of RSe07s yesterday. Not sure if I'll use them as rollers or winters, but the deal was too good to pass up!
I'm midway through a dp install. I didn't have an 02 socket on hand and thought I could get the old pipe out with it on. Nope, or at least not easy enough..
mine came out with the O2 still on...to lots n lots of shimmying and twisting to find the right angle back n forth from above n below, would have been much better with a second person to help. But yeah I was ready to give up... it was so hard to “find” the right twist plus angle to get the stock DP out and once you find it, it literally slips out with ease.I'm midway through a dp install. I didn't have an 02 socket on hand and thought I could get the old pipe out with it on. Nope, or at least not easy enough.
Then tried to take it off from below on the disconnected pipe with a 22mm wrench. Also nope. It's welded on pretty good. Waiting for Amazon prime to deliver a socket and some pb blaster. Ive got a torch just in case.
Also, getting the drivers side mounting bolt off the block was a ridiculous bit of contortionism requiring a wobble socket, plus a ujoint adapter and a mirror, all with me sitting on top of the engine. I absolutely could not get to it from any other spot. Couldn't even see it from below. All those vids must be on non pp cars. However, if I'd taken the 02 sensor off first, i wouldnt have needed so much bendy extension shenanigans.

Mine was very tough to get out with the o2 sensor attached. Ended up mangling the heat shielding at the firewall and the pipe 90% out - but no more. Out of frustration and time constraints, I took a sawzall to it. Didn't cut clean through, but enough to bend the pipe to get it out. Had the car raised 20" on jackstands and still could not turn it enough to get out. Perhaps if the O2 sensor was removed first ( like the instructions say ) it would have been a cinch.
