I'm rockn the autzoe mod. 10 bucks for the filter and 5 for the tool.

Edit: I think the tool was closer to $6, but maybe the filter was $8.98 idk.

all the power to ya' i'd rather drive it then work on it
I take it you didnt install anything in your sig then?

No offense to you, some people choose not to mess with installation, its just thatI have installed everything on my car save for the gears. Installing all of the components makes me feel like all my hard work and money saving has paid off. Its nice to get finished with a job and admire my work.
Not me. I install everything on my car too except my jobs usually end in a scene of me throwing tools and yelling, "I hate this stupid f#$@^&% car and i hate stupid f#$@^&% piece of $#!+ mustangs! F*ck this! Im never doing this again! F*ck working on my own $#!+ ill pay to have this bull$#!+ done! F*ck this car and f*ck you guys!" But then again thats just me.

It is not that hard... you can do it without the tool using like a screwdriver or something, but its alot easier with the tool.

Advance Auto carries 2 different tools, having different sizes for different lines. you should ask which one is for you if you are unsure.

The Purolator Filter part# you need is F65277


Also, the filter is right in front of the tank. You'll be able to see it laying under your car, just follow the fuel line up to it.

here is a pic of the tool you might look for:


If your unsure whether you can do this or not, maybe you should let someone else. HOWEVER, this is something anyone can do, and in my opinion something everyone should know how to do. It's basic wrenching... far too many people pay shops to do simple things they can do in their driveway.

So you ended up having to replace the entire head? Are helicoils capable of holding on a nitrous injected car if so how down the road one of my plugs popped? Is it just better to get new heads?
