why was it a bad idea???

have you lowered it yet? your car sits even higher than mine :nyaanyaa:

Waiting on some more cash to lower it, Looking at just lowering the front..

Bad idea cause i got it back from my Installer and he explained everything bout the system, Has remote start which Cant be used unless car is locked, Cant be used when door is open, cant be used without handbrake on.. otherwise ill bugger up the starter possibly more. :down:

Pretty much was told worse system to put into an import. so ill be looking at changing it..... once lowered.

Whiteline sway bars F & R thanks to Chef :-)

R34 GTT brakes F & R

Rolled rear guards to stop scrub scrub from new wheels.

All in the space of 2 hours due to hoist and a full workshop........ :D

looks good :)

got a video of the sound??

refitted the cat today, and gave the pipes a quick coat of heatproof paint.

Was it because you didn't tighten it enough or because the line is split?

nah i tightened it, before putting it on, so that wasnt the problem, the join just basically wasnt sealing properly..

You didn't put PTFE tape on the JIC fittings did you? If you do it can stop the fitting from sealing correctly.

How much did you pay? The $500 ones with the foggies?

Going thru Streeter I hope...7% commission vs 14%

$114.thumbsup.gif No, I know the one you're talking about, that one was VERY nice, but I would have to paint anyway, so a couple of little marks didn't worry me. I've just got to fit some mesh in the opening.

Ended up using IM, as I spoke to Jesse last week; whilst his commission is less, his container cost was higher, and the end price was noticeably more on an identical part. I would definitely use him on Air Freight though, great to deal with.

how much to make me a set?

all up pipes and stuff only cost $50, but i spent 4 hours welding and blending and grinding.

but that is only for the rear tips, you still have to make the brackets(in the right spot) and attach the flanges to both the front section and the rear tips.

The easiest way to make them up is on car, that way the clearances to fuel tank, tow bar, rear suspen sion and rear bar is all okay.

it would also be soooooo much easier to do 3 inch inlet into twin 2.5 inch tips. the next set i do will be like this. i'm making some for an r32 gtst and an s14 next.

I think any exhaust shop should be able to make them up and fit them for under $150.

I made a stainless set I sold for $250, back to the flange so he could remove and refit for track days etc. They came up great, not my thing (I like stealth) but the look is perfect. 3 inch pipes are the go, you just need to work out the merge.

    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
    • lol that caught up a year quickly! good to see you on the track again, hoping to do it myself one day
    • Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
