Nicely done sir, have the same to do on mine.

yo, i just got myself an element and I want this upgrade and ran across your video! small world :D Hope you're doing well

I have the same manifold cat on my vibe so I hope it’s the same and doesn’t cause and gets ride of my codes! And my mpg and idle gets smoother

Do you know if the 1999 Models take the same gaskets ? i would assume so since they are the same gen till 2003.

Would it have been possible to just take the bottom of the rails off the slide and swap with mr2?

So, the "clips" only are on the back? No need for the front?

Wow looks great. Considering this option for myself. Thanks for the video.

Are they more supportive or comfortable?

I got my 2009 EX used in 2012. It had 38K on it when I picked it up. I am one of those people that loves the look of it; I don’t want a car that looks like every other car. I chose it because of my work and play (bicycles), and also because at the time I had a chow chow. After I got the vehicle I found a seller who was clearing out the dog-friendly kit so I bought it. I also have some of the other available OEM accessories such as the door visors, interior bike mounts, and table legs. In the last few years I started following and working with a band, so a few months of the year I put on much more mileage than normal; now I have 113K on her. I keep it stock; that’s how I roll. It runs flawlessly, and my last tour a couple months back I was getting an almost unbelievable 30-32mpg.

Hey Miller, yours is by far the best how-to video on this operation that I've seen, and I've watched a lot of them. Bravo and thanks for doing it. I don't yet own one of these cars, but I'm suffering a serious passion to get one. Now I know I can deal with their one big drawback (if it hasn't been taken care of already) when I give in and start looking seriously for one. Thanks again for your clear and thorough instruction!

Thanks for the video. Came in handy doing the swap today!

Sounds like you did your homework on that 2007.

Well done!

Congra looks legit !! Hard word but fantastic results

I just picked up an 08 EX-P same colour and wheels. Can't WAIT to drive / modify this thing. always loved the element. Now I finally have one! 100% do up Element videos. That's how I found your channel

How often should you gut the pre cats ?

I found one -2008 FWD 212milies 4300$- great shape no rust - good deal? Maroon color

Love these videos

Great video. As a note, the brightness isn’t an issue with the led bulbs. It’s that typically reflector headlights are designed to reflect light from halogen bulbs. The light chip on leds are typically in a different spot and thus the light is reflected without the typical cutoff or focus.

I was 35 when I bought an Element in 2003. I was at the high end of the demographic, but I would say this was really a gen X car, not a millennial car.

What did you do with the old seats? Want to sell the bottom covers???

How much did you pay for the Element?

Looking forward for this content I got a 07 ex tango red awd

How are the celica seats? Comfortable?

Did you replace the gaskets when doing this? About to take this job on sometime soon and not sure if it should be replaced

How many miles before the engine is toast? Looking at mr2s around 30-60k miles and I don’t want the engine to be beat

I like the steelies

Great job, looks like fun

Full stiffness, that's what she said!

the low card beanie tho

Thank you! I'm doing this on my LX - even provided honda part numbers!

I'm in the process of getting a 2006 myself. I plan to scrounge for the SC console ( GL with that, right!!) OR more than likely will remove the floor stuff between the front seats and mod a center console from an F-150 in there for the armrest, stowage and cup holders. What I'd like to know is what AV unit is in yours as of this videos posting. Looking for similar utility for my Element.

So clean, I'm very jealous. I think I'm following you on insta, keep up the great work.

Miller! You coming up to the meet on 4/23 in MN?

Our Element was our first choice. Bought a 2010 in 2012 with 25,000 miles on it. It how has 200,000 miles on it. We are the second owner.

Great video! I also have a yellow MR2 Spyder. I also need to install the whiteline sway bars. I bought them a few months ago but did not had a chance to install them. What type of set up do you recommend for the front and rear sway bars? I love how the car looks with the black hard top. Do you have any experience or know more about the carbon fiber hardtop? I can’t wait for the weather to get warmer so I can give it a proper clean and for driving it more often.

Greetings from the Madison area. I love my red, 2005 AWD with 220 K. !!!

Love my 2003 Element.

I owned a 1986 MR2, 1991 MR2, and a 2003 Element. I don't know how I would order those cars but they are my top 3. Car #4 is not even close. I bought my 03 Element new and drove it 16 years. It had 168,000 miles on it when the tractor trailer rear-ended me and totaled the car. I miss all 3 of them.

I love my element

First car was a MR2 (used) & first new car was my 2005 Element Ex which I still have. What radios has people swapped out from the stock. Thinking of putting something in with Apple Car play & Bluetooth.

Any Specific Info On The Headlights? (Make/Model)

Huh, I guess mr2 owners are quirky people... I had a 1991 mr2 sw21, and im looking to buy an element too. Ive obviously had many other cars, but you're the 1st mr2 owner I see thats also into elements 😎👍🏼

Welcome to the world of RUclips, I have an 06 element and have pretty much all the same mod except for the headlights.

Great find. I have had two E's both purchased new. First one was an '05 classic Orange AWD EX manual 5 sp. It was a terrific car with the 5sp manual and I wish I still had it. I now have a 2010 EX AWD which I will never part with. Here is my absolute best and easy mod you can make. Get rid of the stock 215-70-16 tires and go with 235-65-16's. They fit perfect on the stock rims, no rubbing and no speedo change as they are the same diameter as the 70's. You will be amazed in the change in driving performance with the wider wheels. This is the size the Element should have come standard with. The more you use your E the more you will love it. Take a few doubters with you on a trip and they will be amazed at the Swiss Army knife versatility of them.

I have exact same Element but an 2008, Cat got stolen and it cost $4k to replace stock OEM cat $$$! In CA you can't replace with aftermarket must use OEM (CA sucks!) Also had to wait 3 months for the part :(

Think 🤔 I’ll do after market one thanks nice vidio

Nice! I have a 2006 ,5 speed,front wheel drive, over 500000km hade it since new,and live in Ontario, It’s been very reliable.

I sold mine today. I was the original owner of a 2004 EX FDW Automatic. It had just over 138k miles. The family that bought it was pretty happy. When I saw them driving away, it hit me. I will miss my Element. Great car! Bulletproof engine! And yes my cat converter was stolen too, and got the aftermarket.

Awesome video. I live pretty close to Holy Hill and cruise out there with my Golf R almost every weekend
