INTENSE 2.5" downpipe. . .installed

[redline13]

But good lord that thing was a pain in the ass. Keyser soze and myself tryed yesterday for about 2-3 hours. We had a bitch of a time getting the stock bolts off. Then the downpipe wouldn't fit becuase the hole were drilled slightly off.

Then track slut and myself tried again this morning, again, the downpipe wouldn't fit. So we opened the holes little by little. (only took us 2 friggin hours )

But we got it on. Sounds a bit "buzzy" at WOT, but I sounded like it started to settle down a little bit as I was driving.

I'll tell you guys what though, that shit is LOUD AS HELL at WOT. I even scared a toll booth worker on my way to work today

All and all, it seems like a great product. Now I just need to get that header on there. (and i'll be paying someone else to do that )

Definately, aside from the sound. It feels much smoother along the top end. I pissed of a early 90's stang GT on my way to work too.

that's where I noticed it when I put mine on. Wait til the header goes on, it's like butter.

Word, I am going to let someone else do that for me though. They can deal with that shit.

fuck yeah bro! All that shit for 5 bolts the past 2 days and that was in a place that was somewhat easy to access on the jack stands. The header is a bitch, it's easier on a lift fo sho!!

Why were the bolts so hard to get off? Just that crappy Florida salt air? It amazes me that cars here in Chicago have 1/2 the body/chassis rust from what I'm used to in Florida, and we drive in salt for 3 months each year...

Pretty much I think.

[Keyser Soze]

we hit them with some liquid wrench, the bolts that connect the rear section were the bitch, the front ones were cake.
