all i used was a saw zal... used a metal blade about a foot long and went to town... stuck it in threw the block off plate hole and cut both sides of the shelve... then took a normal 6 inch blade and cut from inside the elbow hole at diffferent angles...takes time lol im fully bolted and had done this and hated the power...( was stupid to have cuz all you felt was from 5k to redline which is useless without the technosqaure ecu with the extended rev.)

Yeah really. SSIM FTL during daily driving. I even removed my block plate because most of my driving is below 4K rpm and stock wins there for power/torque.
