Headers are installed (vids inside :D)

Post by andyman »

Ok we started at about 0830 in the morning, had the drivers side header on at about 1030, and then ran into trouble with the passenger side, plus we had to get some new tools (those socket wrenches that ratchet).
The passenger side header got on at aroun 1:30 or 2:00, somewhere inbetween there. After all that was done, we started putting the engine bay back together and then cut up the midpipe.
That midpipe was a pain in the ass to install, so we didnt install it and I'll take it to a shop and let them pull their hair out about it. the rest of the exhaust was put in my trunk.

here is all the pictures and videos.

i didn't take a whole lot of pictures because I didn't want to stop all the time. The pictures are pretty much self explanatory...

all in all, the install went well. and the performance? :nice: with the open headers, it will burn first whenever i want. Even on a downshift. we were going about 25, i hit the gas, and sure enough the rear end comes out :D :D :D

I don't have extensions, but I will soon.

It threw these 2 codes:
P0141 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0161 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
that is only because those two aren't plugged in lol.

fart cannons only sound like that beacause of the cars that are usually associated with them... here are my "resonators" as they are called... i cleaned 'em since i have them off.

they have probably 10,000 miles on them and are well broken in. I love them.

Here are 3 more videos, with the complete exhaust: Hooker LT's, off road h-pipe, borla catbacks. actually..... just borla 'backs' since the catalytic converters are gone lol
This 3 video series chronicles my adventurous journey to the mall's parking garage. I would have stayed at the garage longer, but i saw mall security start to home in on my position.

No revs on this one because it is sunday night and i really dont want to be disturbing people. 2 days of them haveing to turn off their car alarms is probably all they can take right now
Initial startup, 15mb

Having the camera between the seat and the headrest kinda makes you hear EVERY little click and clatter from the cameras attachments, but on a plus side it does show just how high the front raises with just a stab of gas
Out of the complex, 28mb

You can see the rpm's in some shots, and i was NOT hitting the gas quickly and it was still chirping! Sorry for the swear word hehe
In the garage, 8mb

enjoy :nice:



MY CAR DRINKS PROTEIN SHAKES RAHHHHH
