^^ ya if you wanna borrow the "moddifed" goose neck 14mm wrench i used to install his.....let me know...

The Flanged lip of the Ti exhaust requires it to be goose necked, and the larger diameter piping requires the goose neck wrench itself to be ground down thin walled....we had to use my shop grinder that day....

I don't recall the stock muffler being hard to take off? Unless you're trying to get them off those hinges, now that can be a PITA. Just unbolt the whole thing and then take the hinges off afterwords

thats the one that has tough clearance due to the oversized piping mating up with the oem Y pipe?

wait? do you have oem Y pipe? what aps kit, with what set up after the turbo/s?

APS single turbo, it has an S-pipe that comes back from the turbo eliminating the oem y-pipe and she is together and sounds great!

ah, so no wondering you didnt have the clearance issue, you probably had 13 or 12 mm head bolts at the location where the oem Y would have hooked up to the Ti exhaust...

i missed that earlier....

Ummm, you should definitely put TUNE first in that list. You're likely to EFF things up with a boosted setup and no good tune.

it has a good tune, she is just running very rich and the current tune is to compensate for the back pressure of the stock exhaust, now with that not being an issue, it is time for a retune

Before I get out, I'll grab a hold of my window and step out, I can feel and hear the electricity flowing through my body to the window. I feel like a retard flicking the door **** or something before I open it so I won't get unexpectedly shocked.
