Quick question, is the rest of your exhaust stock? If so, how thick would you guess the gasket you used was? Just asking because I bought the same setup from someone on here and I didn't realize that the stock exhaust used a donut gasket at the catback so I didn't buy a gasket ahead of time so I couldn't install mine yesterday.

Taking mine in on monday. Driving a lifted jeep wrangler from now until it's fixed. I know your pain.

Yeah, after I posted that I got a quote for the spark plugs and read up on their difficulty rating. I was told I don't actually need to change them out until 75k miles. I guess the stock ones are Denso plugs, so I'm going to look into swapping with NGK plugs. Good idea and thanks for sharing!

Here's a picture I took from this weekend.

So funny story....

I also did not realize that I could not use the stock gasket when I went to install it yesterday....but i had already pulled the stock exhaust (yes its all stock). So I opted to risk the exhaust leak and had Perrin overnight a gasket for $30.

I wouldn't recommend this long term but for a day or two there doesn't seem to be any adverse effects.

It is however difficult to get the tips even. (side to side is easy but my left wants to stick out an extra inch or two).
Going to try and trouble shoot it when I crawl under to slip in the gasket.

I recommend hanging everything but keeping things reasonably loose..then work your way from front to back. I'm pretty sure that rotating the sections will affect the fore-aft adjustment. Should be a post on this somewhere....

installed Tomei UEL headers and overripe at my house

Stealthy · 02-10-2015, 10:59 PM

Maintenance - Brake and clutch fluid flush
At the same time I figured it was worth it to put in the whiteline positive shift and mtec springs.

All I can say is wow, this car just keeps getting better and better!

i just found the XM radio option on the car. how long is that good for? im guessing 6 months?

also, how the fuck does the plastic scuff so easily. ive learned how to get in and out of the car but does anyone know the proper way to deal with the minor scuffs?

Ill get some pictures with the new tint soon but so far loving this thing.

how high does the car have to be lifted to install headers? I'm kinda worried about installing one on my own but I did manage to install my catback exhaust with no issues. Would a header be just as easy?

Header is very easy if you've done a catback.
You don't have to lift it really high, just make sure you have enough room to drop the header down with you under the car as well.

I think mine was 3 months. Did not bother to renew. They will sure call and try, though.
