I agree, I keep telling myself I need to get out and meet some of you guys and I think I might have seen a few of you on the road in passing over the past few years...

But for some reason or another my car is never road worthy when things are scheduled...

 

Hey where did you get your TR55's? I just realized I forgot to order them, does any place local sell them? I will be running out to pepboys and my local speed shop this moring to see if I can track them down, but I don't want to spend too long looking because I still want to beat you to the finish even if that doesn't included new plugs...

 

I got my TR55's from thunderracing when i bought my OVC wires. Autozones may carry NGK plugs

Drivers and Passenger side headers are In!!! along with Plugs

Tommrow im gonna install the OVC wires, and all emmisions hookups. and fue; pump,

Then send the car out to the exhaust shop monday to get the Ypipe made.

 

That thing is going to be gloriously loud if you are just driving with only the headers on.... bahahahahhaha.

 

ohhhh yea! Just for a day or two until i get time to drop it off that the exhaust shop

 

I found the plugs at a local speed shop, because pepboys didn't have them... I got started today at about 11:30 and had the headers in by 3:30, took the rest of the day to put everything under the hood back together including plugs, wires, tie wrapping everything away from the headers, readjust the rockers, change the oil, fabricate my own egr blockoff plates...

Fired it up by 8:00 , all I can say is open headers are bada$$, the wife thought it would be super loud but it wasn't she said she could feel the rumble in her chest, but it wasn't loud it was mean...

Then I cleaned up and got dinner...

Y-Pipe and exhaust tomorrow though, but then the test drive...

 

OK I was going to finish this up this morning and started taking stuff outside and decided to look at what I had in store for me and it loos like I might have hit a snag.

But I guess we will see...

 

That's a bummer. So close and yet so far...
I hope you can figure out a work around for it. The MAC's that I installed went through without any probs. You bad boys with long tube...

 

I did the install anyhow, just to see how bad it would be...

I hits the floorboard somethimes, and rattles a little but not bad enough for me not the take it out for a few spins around the area...

Traction is harder to maintain now though.

 

You need to do one of those big smokey burnouts first...

Glad to hear that you got it completed.

 

well just about 11hrs start to finish, Boy are those OVC wires a pain the in *** to route through and crimp.. All in all im extremely happy with them and i'll send the car off tommrow to exhaust shop get the ypipe made.


couple pics...

Ah, yep!!!. I had the side bracket, but they haven't been on for awhile since I had to keep tightening the header bolts and the side mount brackets were screwing me over. But yours do look nice.

Hey! I saw spark plugs!!!

 

1SlowFormula, how ya making out man?? get those problems solved?


mine is all done, 3" Ypipe w/ Carsound cat installed and I love it. it's sounds ALOT cleaner than my car used to be (I hated all the popping/backfiring the stock manifolds produced w/ the Borla). Best of all, the free flowing rev's is such a huge difference along with the top end power

I'll have to get some pics of the Ypipe

 

Pics are nice, but the hearing it is much better.

Let me know when you are doing that shindig "across the street" at the Pep Boys. Maybe a bunch of us can meet up... 'Cept I'm not around the weekend of the 24th.

 

I think it's actually this weekend, every 3rd saturday of the month, but i dunno if i wanna go there this weekend, cause my buddies want to go to the Lansdale Car show which is usually a huge show sat night
