Did the Deckplate mod. How long should I wait?
No-one I knew would lend me a jigsaw, so I had to improvise. I took a soldering iron and poked holes on the line i traced, hten beat it out with a hammer. Layed RTV around hte edge, bolted the DP in place.
How long should I let the RTV to cure before driving with it? I had to put the airbox/MAF back in because my dad was on his way home, but Im going to wait to start the engine.

Yea, I had to go to like 3 different auto parts stores to find the sensor safe stuff. I did the ISR mod last week already.
I know its not going to give me any performance. I just want the sound anyways.
I burned a half a tank of gas in one day driving a total of maybe 10 miles. WOT must run really damn rich.
EDIT: I pulled the ECU-A and ECU-B fuses in the cabin (10A and 7.5A). Where is this 15 or 20A fuse you guys are talking about?

You won't get any better mileage either, but it sounds cool.
