My test pipes finally came in after about a month. I am planning on installing them tomorrow. Any tips from anyone how has put a set on? Or info on how difficult it is.

 

Word is sometimes it's hard to take off the bolt from the cats to stock exhaust.

GL and hope it works out. Don't forget video clips!

 

yes you will probably have to break the top bolts completly off. seems to be a common issue. Make sure to use the non fouler trick, while adding some brillo padding inside the first drilled out non fouler so that you don't get a cel.

 

Spray a chitload of PB blaster on the nuts/bolts and wait 10 minutes or so. Then get a breaker bar and keep your fingers crossed. Try not to fill up the swear-jar too quickly either.

 

Spray all hardware with penetrating fluid the night before.

 

sprayed all the nuts and bolts down with PB Blaster about 20 minutes ago...Moment of truth! I am about to start my attempt to remove the cats

 

Good luck.

You're going to need it.

 

alright after wrestling w/the bottom nuts i managed to get them off but can't seem to get anything on the 2 top nuts. any suggestions?

 

take the intakes out and approach the top bolts from the top. it was really easy just need extensions and with the right tools you'll be good i have an 08 no need to break or drill nothing

 

thanks man. i'm gonna go try that!

 

any luck?

 

yea...been out driving the car. got test pipes installed! thanks to everyone for their help with tips and tricks! i really appreciate it! i'm pleased with the sound. inside the car sounds a little raspy but outside its not bad at all! it has a decent powerful sound to it. i was worried because my buddy put test pipes on his G35 with the injen exhaust but he doesn't have the resonators and his went from having a nice deep sound to sounding like a civic with a stock B-series with exhaust. i'll try to get some videos up soon!

 

good for you man. those cats can be a real pain in the

 

Thats why u go with nismo stune(instead of injen) and testpipes, sounds just amazing imo

 

i haven't heard the nismo w/test pipes. i'll have to look it up and hear one

 

Congrats man. I want TP too but i live in cali.

 

Congrats bro! post up some videos when you get a chance.

Waiting for vids!! or soundclip!!

 

quick question... will the test pipes void my warranty? reason i ask is because my driver side pwr window motor went out. i'm having it replaced tuesday. i didn't know what they would say about having the test pipes on there

 

nope, it shouldn't. Just don't brag that you have them and you'are making all that powa.
