Hey all,
I installed my Rick's Smoked Diffusers today (looks sweet on my Silverstone) and it was somewhat of a pain in the ass.. After I did it, I was wondering how this mod compared in difficulty to other mods.

So, please rate the diffuser install with other mods that can be done yourself. Here are some other mods to rate:

Installing a front swaybar
Installing an X-Brace
Installing new springs
Installing OEM spoiler
Installing a supercharger!!
Swapping wheels
Installing CAI
Installing eManage/Other

Just curious how difficult this mod is compared to other DIY mods.

Thanks!

The most time consuming item on your list is the SC. Vortech SC is probably 20 hrs while Comptechs is a little shorter. The diffusers took me about 9 hours , but I did it over several days. Try installing the shift boot, that is a major PITA.

 

I've done the following in order of increasing difficulty (for me):
Installing OEM spoiler
Swapping wheels
Installing an X-Brace
Installing CAI
Installing a supercharger
Final drive gear swap

In order of increasing time:
Installing OEM spoiler
Swapping wheels
Installing an X-Brace
Installing CAI
Final drive gear swap
Installing a supercharger

 

Thanks for the info, xviper. I figured the X-Brace would be very easy to install, but I guess not? Either that or the OEM spoiler was really, really easy...

Oh, and I'll try to post pics once I download them from the camera (I'm lazy... )

Gears over SC, huh?

I would've never thought......

 

Yeah, for me, the S/C was a breeze even though it took longer. The gears, on the other hand was a much tougher undertaking.

 

I guess I mis-read your post.

I thought you said final drive was easier than S/C. I thought
