well stuff is going on good except the downpipe the flange to mate to cat back turns out is meant for a 3 inch cat back not the 2.5 inch stocker ****. dustin wanna sell me your 3" cat back lol.

 

cheapest to just buy a new downpipe or have it cut and weld a new flange on

 

whaaaa? explain please and what you got stopped for

 

Lol 475Cash and its yours. (actually a damn good deal cosidering its basically brand new and 500 Plus shipping (the guy i got it from paid 640 shipped)

Question, Is the 3" flange a 3 Bolt? If so wouldnt it just bolt up to my 2.5" catback? i know my 3"dp bolts up to it perfectly.

 

Last Night i got pulled into a check stop (for no reason other than HID's) and then got a ticket because "HID's arent allowed in a stock housing" or something like that.... BS
And then he noticed i had tinted tails (they are very conservative and dont have the Reverse lights covered, and light up red when you touch the break as you are supposed to). I got a Ticket for "lights"

Then not 12 hours later on my way to work i got pulled into the SAME check stop and given a ticket for "lights" again.. but not because i had HID's or because my tails were tinted... (they hadnt even looked up my licence yet to see i had already been given a ticket) and he gave it to me because my "DRL's dont work" (i have my fuse pulled because i dont like running them during the day).. They made me turn on my headlights and flip to my high beems... NOT A WORD ABOUT MY TAILS OR MY HIDS... So basicaly that officer didnt give a **** but was worried about DRL's Just retarded. I might add there is NO detail on the ticket of what needed fixing on my lights... Nor can i find anything in the HWTA other than how many candles Tail lights need to be and that they need to be red. my headlights are pure white and all it says is that they have to be white. Not a single mention of what kind of light they must be.... Just white. (and aimed properly with a definitive cut off yada yada yada) i have well aimed Retros witha very difinitive cut off...

 

Complete and total joke. Instead of trying to bust the hundreds of people drinking and driving on may long lets give out random bs tickets to the people being responsible on may long.

 

Its ******* obscene... And while i was sitting there at least 3 hondas rocking pink/Blue/green hids in reflector housings and strait pipe exhaust Blue leds on everything blew by unchecked....probably drunk...

 

Un real

 

Sounds like they have it out for you that sucks

 

Haha. Never had a problem until now. just picking on me cause i have a vacume leak and cant run away haha

 

Damn Dustin that sucks man that ****** blows. You gonna fight it or consult a traffic ticket speciaist about it?

Well got the Dual Pass, Option B,Phenolic Spacer Bad-Mab Header, Polished Valve Cover, OTTP Stg 1 mounts, all installed mad props to Dustin SC for all his help and the use of his garage. Gonna have to figure out what to do about the down pipe. We also changed the oil in my supercharger as we went to drain the old oil expecting black sludge only to have 3 drops of old pil come out WTF? see pic of the oil in the cup

 

Yeah I plan to fight it. Probably via an expert.

Wow so... You had no oil in your blower?


Also what does your flange on your three inch DP look like?

 

Nope none.

my flange is a 2 bolt flange.

 

Its a 2 bolt flange but its made to fit onto a 3 inch cat-back.

 

Oh so the bolt holes don't line up.
So you basically have two options.
Swap the flange on the dp to an LNF flange and It will bolt right up to my exhaust (I believe) or swap my exhaust flange to a 2bolt 3" flange. (my 3"DP bolts up to my stock exhaust)

 

or buy a new downpipe that fits.

The flange part is a good idea, but id recommend buying a new flange not cutting one off of a old LNF downpipe.

There was a link on here somewhere that sells flanges cheap, try TTR i think they do also.

 

Ya looking at all options. I will check for the flanges that sounds like a promising route. If you happen to find the link shoot it to me and i will look as well.

 

But it's not just cut a flange off an weld one on. You need to reduce the downpipe to 2.5". That's going to be the hardest part.

 

yeah you'd need a reducer pipe to weld onto the other end. Shouldn't be to difficult with anyone that can use a welder.


That is kind of being ghetto tho.

My downpipe is 3 inch and it fits on my stock cat-back. So i don't see why his 3 inch downpipe wont fit on a SS/TC cat-back.

 

does the stock tc cat back have a resonator as well?

 

either way it will be kinda getto.

 

Yes. but its not the same as a LSJ resonator and muffler, they are hallowed out because SS/TC's have two cat's in the stock downpipe and a turbo muffling the sound

 

so I am gonna need to use my old resonator as well then. Holy frankenstein exhaust bat man

 

 

You shouldnt have to?

ZZPerformance - 3 inch Stainless Steel LNF Catback Exhaust #ZZ-3LNFCB

see there, the LNF res is set back, You will just have to switch the flanges

The downpipe you have is a 2 bolt, the stock LNF exhaust is a 3 bolt.
