I have an 07 but it only has 43,000 miles. but thanks for the thought.
Things we found wrong while tearing down. Loose exhaust manifold! Two studs were tight and the rest were loose and leaking around the gasket on the left side. The engine torque mount from Elevate is shot (I emailed Don for his solution so more on that when I get answers). The downpipe had two bolts holding it on. The tech feels due to the excessive movement of the engine from the torque mount and the exhaust manifold being loose that is why other parts were working loose. Now the pictures...

how about I try to get my 1st reaction on video! 
I have noticed people disappear after their k16 goes in! Maybe they hit light speed and warp to another dimension!! If that doesn't happen to me I will be certain to post pictures and video of what it is like. I will not forget about the community fella's. I really want to give others an idea of what they are going to experience if they go this far. The only reason I choose to take the leap with my 07 is because I have low milage and I have prepared the rest of the car for this day i.e. suspension, brakes and all the supporting mods. If it breaks then I'll fix it. I even went to the extent of replacing the front hubs and the transfer case angle gear collar sleeve. These things are extra expenses to ensure the car can handle the new found power. I just want to give a shout out to Madden for inspiring me from the very beginning to work towards this point. The rest of you contribute a hell of a lot of useful info that has saved me time, money, and disappointment in the past. I only hope to return the favor by documenting my own experiences.
Here is a before with the stage 3 shot while I was in mexico...or maybe it was japan, I can't really recall. My speedometer reads in leagues so it looks like it reads 80 or 90 in the video but its really only 30mph...anyway...
Awesome build man, shame it had to go really. Have done a similar route and used your thread for info to help with mine.
