Right, but he had asked what was the benefit of keeping two pieces, and you mentioned benefits on making it one piece

Ok, according to Ryan at Nameless, they'll start building out as many of these exhausts that they can, starting Monday, Oct. 1st...including group buys.


Is the last day for the group buy the sunday before?

I haven't done it myself, but for sure you will need two jack stands, a jack and a socket and wrench at a minimum. The socket/wrench I don't know what size, maybe 17 mm? Also need sockets for the exhaust bolts.

I'm sure there are forum members close to you more than willing to help. If I were close we would do it at my house.

for the loosening of the Motor mount and overpipe job and most of the rest of my perrin exhuast
14mm deep + 3/8 drive ratchet
14mm gear wrench
14mm box end/open
2 ramps+2 stands or 4 stands
jack
pc of wood or rubber pad for jack
for stock I'd keep 10mm,11,12,13 handy in sockets, dont remeber exactly where and why but the rest of the exhaust made me use other tools than the 14s

According to Ryan at Nameless...

They will end up building out the full order of 25, dividing up the ones that are not yet spoken for into offset and non offset mufflers.

At that point, they will be able to assess the left over inventory they have, so people know what they have left available for the GB price.



So basically, you'll need to order one of the first 25 before they are sold...no specific GB end date.
