I replaced my usp hatch pop struts for ecs hatch pop struts. The ecs ones are way nicer. They just feel a lot sturdier since they're all metal. Ecs struts are also a little bit longer so that's kinda nice being able to open my hatch a little higher.

I still need to install the hatch button I got, but it's thundering right now so it's on hold.

Busy day today.

First, I got rid of the crappy DIY emblems the previous owner had, and bought some gloss black emblems. I also programmed the instrument cluster to sweep when the key is turned to the ON position.










Then I headed to work to install the Neuspeed intercooler, HPA 75a mount/ECS pendulum, and replace my broken ECS intake tubing. Unfortunately, I didn't get enough time to install the FMIC. The OE subframe mount ended up fighting me WAY more than I thought it would. Finally had to just air chisel it out. Overall, I'm very happy with it. The NVH is there, but I had a solid dog bone mount on my old Si so there NVH doesn't bother me.










Still some misc. things to do, but overall a productive day.

Yea as long as the arrow on the maf is still pointing the same direction. I think some intakes sit a bit high and the maf plug hits the hood. Either way yea seeing that wire sticking up looks ugly lol

I can't speak from experience, I know that there are older threads expressing a concern for water or condensation screwing up the MAF with it mounted this way. Like I said, I can't speak to the legitimacy of it. I do agree that it looks way nicer.
