yea i might need to becuase my car has about 50000 miles on it so depending on when I install it I will see how worn out it is.

^^^ Just get a new gasket its only 35-50 bucks tops at the dealer and then you wont have to take everything back off due to an exhaust leak!

Yea that many miles you should get a new one. Like boxman said not worth the risk of a leak

They are not copper electrodes, they are made of nickle and are junk. People call them copper because they have copper cores. Most all plugs on the market use a copper core.

yes it will fit the automatic, and the Greddy e-manage is not needed. The kit is 100% complete, boost gauge is recomended though...

The IC fits fine......just need to trim up the crashbar a bit and the actual OEM bumper you need to trim up a bit so that the IC piping has room to fit. Other than that the IC is fine....check out nd4spd install pictures....

nope no new problems

I still have to remove the turbo and reseal the oil return lines. Put teflon tape on insted of liquid teflon.
I installed another new downpipe to spipe gasket. Seems to be working.
Also still have a rattle at 4000rpms. We thought it was the downpipe but now were thinking it is a IC pipe rubbing/hitting the splash gaurds.
Minor things.

Car runs great. Brought it up to 110mph last night. Ran through the gears, topped out 4th. Pulls really hard all the way to redline in 4th. Gets up to speed really fast now.
Also raced a last body style mustang gt. That was an easy race. haha

I'll get new videos/pics soon.
