So I guess the hose clamp on that end was in the open position...? I have no idea why it wouldve been. They did a diagnosis, replaced the clamp, drained and filled the coolant and ran it for a little while to see if anything else was wrong. No issues with the engine, warped heads, etc thank god! Only complaint is that the car smells weird when I run the heater cuz the antifreeze that spewed out is burning off. Still dont know why the heater didnt work on the drive last night though...but it works now.

ALright, I meant to post pics up yesterday of everything I did, but I dont have my camera cord...Im wicked smart. So i'll get them up as soon as I can. But I got my COBB tbe installed!
Yesterday I woke up at 8:30, shifted around all the cars so i could use my dads lift, and set off to work. Removed the intercooler, heat shield and loosened up all the dp bolts from the top. Man, that heat shield is a huge pain in the ass! After that I jacked the car up, lubed the exhasut hangers, and started loosining all the catback bolts and dp bolts. The whole system came down with ease, and the COBB tbe went up just as easily! That thing fit perfectly! Couldnt have asked for a better looking/ easier product to install and man it looks sweet. After the the install under the car we brought it back donw and tightened everything up top. The HARDEST part of the whole install was putting on the COBB heat shield. The bottom bolt didnt want to match up with the bracket so it took quite a while and some cussing to get it on. The intercooler went back on with ease. Then I flashed the ecu with the stage 2 map and started her up! Car sounds amazing and the new power felt great, i can only imagine what it will feel like after Tuesday. I havent installed the APS intake yet since i didnt want to run it on the ots stage 2 map so i'll put it on tomorrow. Pics soon!!

Congrats on getting the parts installed. Come work on my car, I'm too lazy
Haha. Maybe, if theres beer.
I have a mini keg and a broken rear sway bar.
Sounds like a deal! Even though I don't need a rear sway, whole or broken ha ha
No, you will come fix my rear sway bar mounts and I will give you beer.
Oh, i gotcha. Never fixed one of those but we can see what drinking a mini keg turns it into.
