I think this is my first blog post....:)
I am going stage 3 as soon as I can find a shop to do the install for me or else I'll have to bed the local mechanic I know to help me out....
I have a few questions for the stage 3+ guys:
1) I have a Milltek exhaust with a 2" downpipe, will that work with the stage3+ kit or should I get a different DP while I am/the mechanic is in there?
2) Is there anything I should be getting that is not actually part of APR's kit?
3) Are compression/leak down tests required before a BT install?? (Can I assume I'd be OK at 82K miles)
4) Any comments and tips are greatly appreciated.

aahhaha "I'll have to bed the local mechanic" - i don't know this imples
go with a bigger dp - 3" is the best
- if you are paranoid then go ahead with a leak and compression check - not necessary
you will have a lot of fun

lol... i'm not gonna correct it... he has a lift... that makes him very attractive... :P
All jokes aside if I pay him by the hour I'd get raped... So the typo would fit nicely into the picture. 
Any pointers/recommendations for the 3" down pipe or should I just search.

milltek exhaust comes with a 2.5" downpipe
do the install yourself wuss :P
you know you still need a clutch/fmic. pay for the mechanic to do the clutch install, do the rest yourself.
why not an elim and save yourself some money?

Well, they shouldn't have sent me the wrong clamp for it then. :)
I'll check as soon as I can get under it again...
Even if I do it myself I'll need tools and a garage... pfff... FMIC is still on hold... I need to decide on the kit I'll be getting and then it's official..
