I'm probably going to get some low ramps and a low pro aluminum jack; mine will either be for sale or I'll keep it for my parents' SUVs.

I have a Nameless front/over pipe...the problem is I can't get the old one out. I was in the middle of getting the heat shields off last night when light faded and temp dropped. Going to try again after lunch.

Worst part is an old injury is acting up and I can barely grip a wrench.

@thejevans PM me your address. If I'm done early I'll stop by and say hi.

Just a heads up, I also have the nameless front pipe/ over pipe combo and although I was able to get the stock overpipe out without jacking up the engine in order to get the nameless in you MUST jack up the engine.

I spent about 30 mins trying to finagle it in, finally called nameless and they told me the only option is to jack up the engine. Not too bad but it will need to be done.

Good luck with it, I love the set up.

You need to break out the rage, that will unbolt anything haha, that or a impact gun

Shakedown run now...something is ticking or louder in the engine bay. Pulleys maybe. Hope I didn't damage anything when I jacked the engine up.

Compared it to @thejevans car a few hours ago; I think I got freaked out by normal sounds that I don't usually hear. Throttle totally has a deadspot at the top due to resetting the battery, so I wasn't giving it as much gas as I should have.

Sounds mean as shit without being overly loud! Possibly a little oomph too. Whiteline trans crossmember insert and Kartboy rear stay bushing worked, but @thejevans gearbox feels totally different from mine. He has the same trans mods except he has Perrin rear stay vs my Kartboy which shouldn't matter.

Interesting..

[OrbitalEllipses]

I agree. I need to drive a few other cars before I can say with certainty...but maybe @thejevans will chime in and give his thoughts.
