Man, my timing is terrible. Have a fun day today guys and girls. Should be a good day for pictures. I'll catch up with everyone next time.
@DarrenDriven - you bought your floor jack from Harbor Freight right? I need to go pick one up now that I actually have a garage

.

Yeah, that jack was a harbor freight special and so far no complaints.

Got @Kensurs Invidia exhaust on today... took like 15 minutes, hehe.

Soooo much easier with a lift. Once Nameless Performance finishes their headers and if I ever get enough money or go into debt more instead, I'll buy their whole package of headers, high flow cat, and exhaust from them.

Kensurs · 12-29-2012, 07:29 PM

Thanks @DarrenDriven! I'll post a video of the exhaust soon

Looks sweet, can't wait to hear it. I would have came but I needed to go home and change the wife's oil.. oil in her car that is.

Lol. where was this humor when we were all hanging out at buffalo wild wings?!

humor is annoying when in excess.

Hey Spring Whisperer, er... @DarrenDriven . Can you help me out with a Nameless header back exhaust? I ordered it a few days ago and they said there was a 10 day lead time so mid January?? Seems like the lift is the only way to go for this job. Nameless says we need to raise the motor about 2" to install the over pipe too.

Chen · 01-02-2013, 10:21 PM

overpipe was the biggest pain in stalling the headerback. But I didn't have a lift or have a way to lift the motor.

@Chen - how long did it take you to install without a lift?

Chen · 01-02-2013, 11:56 PM

It took. a total of like 6 hours using jack stands. But all worth it.

digital_assassin · 01-03-2013, 12:18 AM

Yikes! 15 minutes to an hour sounds much better. How much of your time on just the overpipe?

it was like an hour or so. the bolts were a pain in the ass to get off. plus getting the position of the over pipe in there without lifting the motor was a pain as well. But worth it in the end.
