first time i did it i needed 3-4 hours
the second 2 hours
after i did an exhaust + MD spacer in 1:30 hour ,my point it will get easier when you do it
safety first : never get under the car without jackstand and making sure the car is stable (coz you may need to use your muscle down there)
WD 40 on all bolts and muffler hangers + 14mm wrench + breaker bar +extension`s for the HFC bolts and Patience Patience Patience
if you search in here you`ll find alot to know about installation problems , you be addicted to modding after you do the first one your self ,,all the best

 

kewl thanks 4 all the encouragements, so far i received my hfcs delivered by ups..tom the hks exhaust cant wait..i just installed my 8k hid bulbs upgrade check it out:
10 sec after turn on


15 sec after

 

BTW, its not a 4ft extension you need for the cats, its a 2ft extension. They dumb thing about it is that you only need it for one bolt.

 

You're going to hate in in the rain. 8K has too much blue in it and the light will scatter so much that you won't be able to see anything. I have 5K bulbs and I am thinking about going to 4300K because it's too blue for that reason.

 

yah i read about that...but it looks kewl...it will be dry season soon here in cali anyway...

 

Anyone know what stock Zs come with? I have a 04.5 I've always been wondering if I have 4300K or 5000K. From a distance and angle it looks alittle blue but up close it's pure white and when I turn the lights on it starts blueish but the blueness fades to white.

 

ok now back to the install of my exhaust and hfc so far i unstalled the Y-pipe all the way to the exhaust
the ypipe


the exhaust


n the new HKS from CvR motorsports

 

so now im about to uninstall the stock cats...so everyone pray for me

 

i got the passenger side cats off but the f****** bolt by driver side cat wont budge...i didnt use any breaker bar, just used 18" wrench...so after 100 time i gave up.. i put the stock passenger cat back and finished intalling the exhaust ...installing the exhaust wasnt that bad actually....so ill probably drive by to some local shops tom...to get the berk hfcs installed
anyway these are some pics:

 

Looks sweet! My gf is buying me the Borla true dual exhaust kit for my birthday so I'm taking notes.

 

thanks mayne, my hands got some little nicks and cuts but looking at your installed exhaust priceless....

 

Blue light kills your night vision... Green or red is better (there's a reason NVGs display green) It may look cool but it's more distracting than useful.

VERY nice exhaust, btw... Have you considered a bumper tuck to show off those cans?

 

nice exhaust man ,,,enjoy it
although ther are alot of video`s ,,,but it post your
+1 on the bumper tuck ,it looks hot with it
(( about the cats ,,WD40 would help alot ))


p.s : nice wheels ,what are they ? size ? how much did you get them (hope that they are not stock painted although they llook good any way ) . thank you

 

thanks for all the nice feedbacks...about the bumper tuck...how is that with cops? its kinda shows "look mr. officer look at my new exhaust"...but they look nice with them cans showing...and the rims are stock rays GT powder coated..for now got em at a good price cant refuse....im saving up for sum good volks tho....

 

ok i tucked my rear bumper just now ...i will post pics tom...

 

woow that was fast action from you
can`t wait for pics n videos
all the best
anan

 

Good job!

 

Tuck your rear bumper, it'll make it look 10x better

 

yah tucking is easy took me less than 20 mins...but i might need to tuck the middle a bit more to show those monster cans a lot better...
