Shops around here refuse to do illegal work with the many near by emissions based counties.

 

^ I'm friends with my shop too... that helps!

 

Me too, but they still wont mess around with the law of cats. I only got a free X pipe out of the deal.

 

ha the stranger that did my exhaust work..cut my cats off for 50 bucks a piece! then gutted my second cats for free cuz he got to keep all the goodies inside!

 

i did this on my 2001 and it was the biggest headache ive ever been thru. the clamps kept comin loose all the time and it sounded HORRIBLE. i had to reclamp it several times. finally just yesterday i got a family friend to weld them all up and now it was worth it in the end, but if you cant get it welded i would never do it again. just some advice to seriously think about.

-it sounded horrible bc the exhaust was leakin straight out of the right side cat. now that its all sealed it sounds incredible

 

I hate exhaust leaks...

 

Mine was pretty leak free, with the flanged adapters, but I did end up getting them welded shut and noticed a little bit more go-power so I must have had some mild leaks.

 

^ So your saying that you welded an exhaust leak so small that you couldn't even hear it, and you gained power

 

You do realize instead of doing the ^ stuff you can also quote? Just throwing it out there

And no, I had one on the left bank I could hear slightly, it was just a tiny bit quieter than the noisey cam phasers so it wasn't too noticeable, but it felt only a tiny bit better on the very low rpm moving like moving from a parking space, felt a little bit stronger. Nothing like average acceleration and power.

 

Do you realize how much faster ^ is than a quote?

 

I guess , I'm just not lazy

 

 

 

Got the mufflers today. Taking it to the shop Monday

 

DUDE! you cant just mroof for no reason!
