    To OP,

    Sikky makes a quality kit! I cant speak for Garrett because I've never used it but personally, I've been very satisfied with the Sikky kit. My only complaint is the long tube headers sit so low, I had to modify them for ground clearance. I don't understand why the collectors ran at the angle that they do however, fitment was spot on albeit tight.

    My advice, save the funds and go with the following:

    Sikky Basic Swap Kit w/ Aluminum Drive Shaft upgrade & Urethane mounts (trust me)
    Brake Hydrobooster Kit
    Sikky Long Tube Headers
    Sikky Steering Rack Kit
    Sikky Control Arm bushings (needed for headers to clear)
    Wiring Specialties Pro Harness (hit Yury up & purchase the temp adaptor & modified pcm)
    Sikky LS1 intake kit (duh, you can do for cheaper but your vested now so why not?)

    No, this isn't cheap but Yes, its badass and high quality parts. It will make your swap painless and the details really show when you pop the hood. Like already mentioned, this isn't a overnight job and if it will brake, its going to. I busted my budget BUT your going to pay for quality.

    That's my .02

    Hope it helps point you in the right direction..

      I wasn't aware sikky made control arm bushings? You mean the THR style ones? Bimmer world sells them for super cheap I believe. If you have the money, that's the best way to go honestly. I'm testing out the boosterless kit here tomorrow. It'll be much cheaper if you're so inclined.

        I purchased them through sikky when I ordered the headers here..

        Browse Sikky's online catalog of LSx parts and accessories. All parts are Made in the USA using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.


        The BrakeBooster delete kit from Sikky, is that the one your referencing?

                How's your pedal feel? I forgot I did the swap and almost missed a corner on my first lap at the track yesterday lol. I need to find a smaller master or something.

                  Its heavy but usable and consistent. I just need to get used to it
