Good write up.

Just a note on the fuses: Instead of pulling them all individually you could have just pulled the single main fuse.

thanks for the note on the fuses.

I decided to pull my plugs to see what they look like after 3800kms and wow were they whitish grey. The stock map was definately very lean running. Fortunately I will be able to fix that problem with the SEPST

When I reinstall my exhaust should I use new crossover gaskets? My existing ones only have about 500 miles on them. I am using new exhaust manifold gaskets for sure and was thinking I should get new crossovers as well.

I did when I replaced my mufflers. They're only like $5 and they will give you peace of mind knowing that you won't have any leaks with new gaskets. You never know with old ones.
