Exhuast Installed
Today me and David (AudiDriver224) installed my thermal exhaust. It took about 1 hour 1/2 to about 2 hours to get the thing on. It started off this morning with me driving around to find new gaskets. I finally found them at Kragen Automotive (they were two different kinds) and I was surprised Pepboys did not have them. I did pick up some ramps at Pepboys though. We came back here and got to work. I tried to use the factory jack to get the car up in the front (ramps in the back) but the POS fell down like I though it would. Luckily, it left a very small scratch and the car did not drop much. I just used my floor jack and said forget the jack stands (the floor jack takes up to much room leaving no room to place the jack stands). The bolts holding on the clamps at the down pipes were tough but I used a torque wrench and got them off no problem. We thought the hangers would give us trouble but again they were pretty easy. I really like the sound of the exhaust and am very happy with it. I didn't notice too much power gain but it does seem to get up to speed a bit quicker.
