^^ That actually made me LOL.

True story.

Subframe connectors look great, Cajun, as does the rest of what little of the undercarriage I can see.

 

Yall are only about an 1hr 30mins away, im in the houma area.

 

the headers look sweet. good purchase. thinking on getting these. but would like if tsp made the catted Y in stainless.

 

I ended up canceling my tsp ory order and ordered their catted version. With my luck, their stainless orys will be in stock by the end of the week lol.

 

I installed the tsp 1 7/8 with their ory and hooker cb this past weekend. I did not have one fitment issue with any of it once installed. I had to remove steering arm. Did not have to remove oil filter. I also used the 3" accuseal clamps from pep boys and the 2.5" clamps for the y to catback junction. I could not be more pleased. The Hooker cb has a little drone to it at cruising speed, but it also has a nice deep muscle car sound when I get into it.

 

LaBLK

They just got back in stock!!!

**** beans!!

 

My y-pipe gets here monday. lol

 

Seriously? I still didn't get a refund on the ORY, but I just got finished installing their catted y-pipe. Going to have the exhaust shop adjust it a little more when I get the magnaflow welded to the I-pipe. I only have 1 1/2" of ground clearance at the lowest point on the driverside right now.

 

Yes seriously, all orders are being filled. Catted y-pipe is not a bad choice either.

 

Nice, I'm glad I went with a catted version. It's a quality piece.

 

looks really good nice job

 

op where did u get thoes steped clamps did u use them for the slp catback im lookin for all the steped clampps for my slp catback

 

i want to order this so bad. gnna order the headers first and hope they come out w/ a full stainless catted y pipe.

 

Those actually aren't stepped. They are the flat Accuseal (Torctite) clamps you can get at O'Reilly's or Pep Boys. (Make sure they are made in USA. The Chinese **** strips at about 25 ftlbs)

Once you put the "Grip of Christ" on them and torque them down, they conform to the pipe and they look stepped. Hence, the "Accuseal" name!

NO leaks whatsoever.

 

I wish they had a catted x-pipe for their true duals - I can't get away with not having cats here in Virginia.

 

65ft lbs and up!

 

Any issues with the car moving with the stands there in the center?

 

Not at all. That thing was solid as a brick. I shake the **** out of it before I ever go up underneath a vehicle, anytime. I also had the rear on jackstands, but if I don't, I chok the rear tires.

 

Looks good. I got the same headers with their bullet true duals system still saving money for a tune before I install. So its all sitting in my spare bedroom still. Looks like a small parts store in there right now haha

 

Just did mine last week, got the 1 7/8 headers with the ory and some poly mounts.

Took the car to my parents garage and had my brother come down and some friends stop out to help, took probably around 18 hours, but we took our time and got side tracked quite a bit.

The motor mounts were not to bad, followed I think the "the best poly motor mount write up" somewhat. What I ended up doing, which would probably help people out alot because it made it alot easier, was I took all the exhaust off. Did the passenger side first. Put small amount of pressure using the jack and a block of wood on the oil pan. took out the 4 bolts to the engine, and the 4 on the pedestal. Pulled the whole thing back, had my brother put a wrench on one side from the top, and used the impact to take the nut off the long bolt and pulled the whole thing out. Changed them, re assembled them, but didnt tighten the long bolt down. Put it back in there as one piece, attached it to motor, left them loose enough to have some play. Lowered the car down, lined up the pedestal bolts. bolted that in, tightened all nine bolts then. Then went and did the passenger side.

Hopefully that helps someone out.



Anyways. When I ground down the K-member, I may have taken off much more than needed, hopefully that wont hurt anything. Ground a nub off the block, and a corner by the drain plug on the oil pan. Not much on either. And had to take out the oil filter. Didnt put the small heat shield back on the motor mount on the driver side. And had to pull off another heatshield on the driverside and some on the passneger, but those got put back up after the headers were on.

Ran into some issues though. The back header bolt on the passenger side is tight before it would touch the header, so hopefully the rest being tight will seal it.

Need to find something to clamp where the merger and I-pipe meet. Possibly one of those accuseal clamps would work.

And what did you guys use to hold the whole y-pipe up? Mine seems to be kind of loose.
I need to get the car on a lift to adjust the whole system anyways, its not quite like it should be. I may try to have my dad or brother get some steel to make spacers for the black brace that was on with the original y-pipe to hold everything up in place.


Let me know what you guys think.
