Default Pacesetter install DONE!

Finally got my headers and y pipe in. It went smooth other than the fact the y pipe vibrated my floor pan!.I also put a 160 stat,Lid,3.73's and Got it tuned!
The car really came to life other than it wont hook what so ever and it is a A4 car!

Did you do the BFH mod on the drivers side? (the rail under the drivers seat), oh yeah almost forgot, i did have to cut about a half inch odff the stock i-pipe to get the proper clearance. It was pushing the catback back out toward the bumper and causing the hangers too much stress.
Didn't have to remove anything other than the coil rails and the stock headers, when i installed mine. It does pull a bit harder up top too and it has a lot more down low.

No I never had to use the BFH lol!..but i did use the BFPB (big F*cking pry bar)..to pry down on the y pipe but i think i am going to cut off a little bit of the y-pipe if i have any problems on down the road! Yea mines def run completely different but i cant tell what gave me what because i done alot at one time!
