Western Members - My adventure

Last night went to the cypress meet. Sweet deal, it was great. I thought I had my jegs cat back bolted up and all was good. Well, I left there got back up to monrovia, was exiting the freeway with my windows down and was noticing that my car was super loud now... I was like crap. I ended up getting some in n out really quick and in the drive through I look under my car and see the I pipe has now become a piece of hanging fantasticness under my car... Damn I didn't want a loud car but I sure got it.

Thats is all now time to get caleb to help me get this bitch on. I have never had this hard of time getting a cat back to fit on a car.

you should try running open headers for about 3 months...sounded nice a fuk but the drone and vibration on the freeway was absolutely terrible :bang:

I am possibly going to do that till i get my header and have the i pipe welded to the y pipe or something maybe the ory will be a little longer so I don't this issue...

just go ahead and get a custom ory made...my guy does great work for cheap, he's done work for mike (sommer86) too...and i've heard good things about marks guy, you can ask him and gilbert about em :D

Yeah but why spend that money when I am going to be buyin headers and an ory in a couple months.

just another option...im not sure what type of headers and ory your going with but i'm not a fan of either hookers or pacesetter Ys...imo i think their design kinda sucks...best of luck tho.

Thanks man I am going with the TSP 1 7/8 headers and their ORY it is well priced and well made.

1 7/8? isn't that overkill for a stock motor...unless your building for the future

Last night at the meet I found out my front passenger swaybar bracket had broken off on one side. No wonder my car has been feeling a little loose on the front end... Pretty sure I have spares so it's no big deal (no suprise there :lol:). Probably gonna swap it out tonight and remove and retighten the bolts all the way around. Maybe change the wheels back to Firehawks too now that I have nice chrome lugs :drool:.

well kinda if I decide I may do H/C at some point but they use the same design as ARH and they flow amazingly, on these engines from what I unserstood is that 1 7/8 is not bad for it, they kinda like it but I do know that it will benefit more once I get H/C and hopefully by the end of the year LS6 intake.

Wait lee you got extra parts?? No way....

i think you may have something installed wrong. i didnt have any trouble getting any of the pipes to fit. i wont really have any time off til sunday so maybe we can work something out if you havent figured it out by then.

well now u have a car that makes babies cry or whatever that quote was :lol: how did that adapter work out for you?

p.s. anyone know what size torx is used to remove the hatch shocks? lee you probably know this

Adam go to autozone and get a 2 3/4" extension (or whatever your i pipe and y pipe is). The diameter is a little smaller on one side so the Y should slip right into the I pipe, then just get 2 U shaped exhaust clamps and your good. Lemme kno if ya need help

hatch strut is a t-47 t-45 works sometimes

LOL...are u trying to kill ALL ur low end tq or just plannin for the future when u slap a big fatty cam in it?

summit sells replacment i-pipes for catbacks i think they are like $50. It is a part made by dynomax.

Thats a good choice for headers. I meat a guy with some and they sounded awesome, the only problem with them is that they hang really low. Like his camaro was lowered and had about a cell phones width of clearence from the ground.
