Default First Major Mod - Brembo Sport Rotors & Akebono Pads

Just finished first major mod - Brembo Sport Cross Drilled Rotors and Akebono Euro Pads. Replaced Optima Red Top and new DV yesterday.
Reason for brake upgrade - eliminate dust from OEM pads and provide for slightly better performance.

Default Tony, I was looking through your fotki.....>

On the exhaust install you said that the rubber grip wrench thing was necessary to align the tips with the mid pipe. Could you explain.

Default I used one clamp to turn the center pipe. The other clamp was used to "hold back" the joining pipe.

Pull on one and push on the other. Worked great for me..... I needed the center pipe to rotate a few degrees for alignment.
