Here are the pictures of the pipes I have been working on--cut, sanded, and cleaned.
Today I started the install, and I also got my 4bar Delicious map sensor and tune!
I did a spark plug change because I was in there, and it was due (62k miles). Definitely a pain in the ass to do. I ended up sticking a deep socket in then attached a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter and to that a 3/8 to 9/16 hex adapter, which then allowed me to reach the assembly with a ratchet and 9/16 socket. Then I had to remove the ratchet and hand loosen the spark plug, but once I did I couldn't remove the socket assembly, so I had to use a screwdriver to separate the adapters, so I could remove each part of the assembly. Ugh.
