Default OFI ABS location

I need picks to see how the abs is located on the OFI kit, it seems like the header goes where the abs is located. Does anyone have any pics??? Or any pics of the entire kit installed??

I had already gotten rid of the abs before my install. If it could stay it would have been very very tight from what I can see. If you need any pics let me know and I can get them and email them to you. I know when I was doing my install a few pics would have helped a bunch.

The 4" kit was made around the UMI k-member as stated on the website. You can keep abs ,but some want to delete it.

When i ordered my kit way back when , i must have missed that information.Not complaining that i had to switch k members,i sold my bmr and didnt have to spend much.The kit is great looking.When EPP was looking at doing the abs brake , they let me know that it was a tight fit so we decided to get rid of it.

It looks like an awsome kit. It seems kind of to good to be true kind of thing.

it really is

you have to get him to send you an ABS bracket. or i had to with my lt1 car. you also need longer lines from the boost to the unit as well.

and on a side note. you loose our washer fluid tank

it is a veyr large PIA. but thats my two scents

On 98transguy's setup, we deleted abs like he said, and also changed over to a billet alum powersteering pulley as its a tight fit.

Other then these little things, this kit is well setup. Routing a 4in sewer pipe is no easy task, especially when you have ground clearance.
If your wondering, the coating is Jethot 2000 black, we had everything done in it.
