longtube install
Okay looks like we have a deal. Ricardo will be here to help with the install sounds like. Fri. night or Sat. early morning drop your ride by the house. It will be garage kept the entire time. Like I said you can hang out here watching tv, playing games, drinking brews or just come back when its done. I live literally in the corner of 151/410 so that trip to 90/410 will be quick. Who do you have doing your true duals anyhow? Lethal Performance quoted me $475 last I checked...high quality work from real racers! I have been wanting their custom Y-Pipe with flowmaster merge collector for months now. Gotta stop playing pink pirate long enough to spend money on my other passions I guess...lol
Shows me how much you really dont know! I personally own a snapon tap and die set. ALL metric. Twice now I have had to remove the head and put a timecert in. Choose not to use helicoils because they end up coming out. You will learn one day. I even bought a angle drill to try and get the broke bolts and and couldnt. This is because we soak the bolts with PB laster for at least 2 hrs. Just saying that cheaper is NOT always better. And if this ever happens to you dont say I didnt warn you. But I can get it out for you for a fee 
The the other side it is nice to have friends that help others out on mods. But I dont think I ever charged them. Last edited by JMBLOWNWS6; Jan 16, 2008 at 11:43 AM.

I need to get my new plugs and what else do I need?
heat wrap, etc. not sure... lmk
my cousin called me this morning and said he'll do it but not this wkend. I want to get this done and Sat morning sounds real good and esp. it's right near where I want to stop by at for my td work. I believe it's OneStop Exhaust. I got my loudmouth work done there and they did a good job! They quoted me like 2bills for the work

Dark...-Would like to jump on this on Friday night so I have all day Sat. to spend with my chica. I'll be at my place @ 5:30PM. If you can make it come by anytime after 6:00PM. I bet we can knock it all out in < 4 hours. That way Sat. you can get it into the exhaust shop early. If this doesn't fit your schedule no big deal. I'll get some QJT in with my gal on Fri. instead. Well let me know. PM'ing you my cell and adress now...
JM...-Learn something new everyday. Thanks JM! (http://www.timesert.com/) Funny you mention PB Blaster...use it all the time...that stuff is awesome! I'm sure your FEE would involve some harrasment + $'s, but I will keep that option open in case things ever get FUBAR. Totally have to agree, cheaper is not always better...SO TRUE! Looks like he is going elsewhere for true duals as well. So sorry...Maybe for the tune he will go see Shawn at Lethal Performance? Dunno...

Advantage- you are getting the length you need + brand new hotter o2's. This is the best of both worlds. Damn near the same price as well.
JM...Thanks again for helping out man!
