gotcha. i myself am usually hangin out around my place on the weekends with a few beers. sometimes head down to the s. side. you're more than welcome to come over and give me a hand with installing my magnaflow cat back that's sitting in my car.

 

How far would u say u are from new ken?

 

coming from brentwood i'd say 30-45mins. i got this muff on sat and have no way of getting it on unless i freeze outside in the driveway.

 

u should come to my place I got a car garage and everything we will need, the only thing i do not have is air tools. I need someone to help me on my sportline springs install

 

i got spring compressors

 

ya i need to find someone with spring compressors too. I would like to do it on a lift but ohh well I can manage.

 

i like the way you think. i don't get home from work till like 6pm every night but my weekends are free so if sat. is good with you then i'm game. i'll give you a hand with the springs. i put on progress springs on my car so i have a good idea of what's goin on. sounds like you know what you're doing so at least i can give yea some extra muscle in there.

 

yeah mine are sitting in my basement

 

my neighbor has compressors that i used. we installed mine in his drive way. big pain in the ace!

sounds like another recruit to me! **** lets have a mod meet at your garage

 

ya I really just always do my things at my house either get it right or **** it up and have to do it all over again. I installed my ss dp this past weekend and I want to cut the ss muffler off and put another muffler on. any suggestions?

ps i have the 2.2 with ss dp and ss catback

 

i'm up but my tool box isnt coming just the compressors

 

cool, what kind off tools will I need to get that top bolt off the strut?

 

magnaflows are pretty popular and are in the $120 range for just the muffler.

the one i want to install is a full cat-back magnaflow. i even know a kid that has a twinloop that he has just sitting around...

a big pair of *****!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That will sound really good.

 

you'll want to try and break it free while the car is on all four wheels. won't be easy. my neighbor and i jerry-rigged something fierce in order to get mine off. even impact tools may not cut it. there is a how to in here somewhere and the guy used a strap wrench of some sort that i guess works wonders.

i'll be next door for a few.

 

well if my ***** arent big enough I will have to shop for some bigger ones.

 

a hex bit and a socket with either a strap wrench or vise grips

 

Ya I printed out the 2 how-to's and they are hanging in my garage waiting to be put to use lol

 

yup, we used exactly that take mine off and used the extension from the jack for leverage.

yeah thats what i did too :-)

does anybody have hptuners in the local area that will help me out of pure kindness of their heart?

intense wants 100 for a PCM tune and 400 for the dyno tune + time. all i need is the pcm tune which for 100 isn't bad at all.

 

not that I know of. when would you be available to meet up. I go to slippery Rock University but I come home every weekend. I go on spring break on march 5th for like 2 weeks. so let me know

 

i'm down for this saturday...i can bring compressors as well unless redline wants to bring them, and i have everything i need to swap my exhaust out. how many jacks and stands you have?

 

I have 1 car jack, 2 bigger jack stands and 2 smaller ones. all 4 work great, i got work lights to plug in under the car and the basic tools, grinder to cut the exhaust but I took mine off without cutting, i dropped the rear end lol.

 

you dropped the rear end? geeeze. i'll do it the easy way and cut it off if i have to lol. i have two stands i can bring just in case we need extra and some extra tools n ****. i might just pick up a stand at Lowe's though. i think it was a 3 ton jack with two stands for $80. Kobalt brand i believe it is.

 

Ya I wanted to save the exhaust just incase plus my g/f's dad is a welder so he welded the ss catback together b4 I put it on the car which mad it hard to wiggle it in without the axle down. took my time and hung out with a buddy. if I was 21 I would of drank, hell even know I am not if my parents wernt home I would have.

 

yeah i'd rather save mine but if i can't get it off when the car is up on 4 stands then it's getting cut off. i'm 25 so i can have a few beers right?
