so not only did I not get it fully installed, a bolt broke on the dp/exhaust connection. the bolt studs on the new header and the nuts wouldnt cooperate so now instead of hearing my exhaust, I hear the sound of exhaust from the dp/header connection. stupid bolts. oh well the shop opens at 7am tomorrow.

/fail

 

Not nice

 

it was horrible.


my car is like obnoxiously loud for now. anything over 1300rpms sounds like a pure drag car.

 

Hopefully you don't get harassed by the clowns before you get it fixed.

 

ill just crank her up and stomp the gas. wont be able to hear **** lol.

 

 

its all good. its literally just three bolts to fix. prolly like $2900 lol

 

 

$2900 for three bolts? Daaammmnnn dats aspensive!!! Haha

lol was a joke. least I hope it will be. although one bolt is actually broken off into the flange.

 

Might be able to use a punch to get it out.

the head of the bolt is well idk what its covered in. almost like its welded but its not. prolly just a screw extractor.

 

what header were you putting on?

 

honestly I dont know the brand. bought it off goofybalt. it was a damn hard one to tighten the bolts down tho. no room lol.

 

One thing I've learned from working on these cars, from LSJ's to L61's to LNF's always always have at least 1 extra bolt/nut combo ordered and on hand. Also left hand drill bits are a life saver

 

yeah man those things were nasty. the bolts on the exhaust/dp wouldnt budge at all but the ones on the header/engine came out easier.

ohh!! I found a nasty crack in some part under the car. I didnt have my phone to get a pic of it. it looks like a bar with some kind of end on it in the centerish under the car.

 

Is that picture the new header??? Looks like its got a nice crack in it

 

I would say thats the stock one

 

yeah brother thats the stock one. even tho its not fully installed, im glad I got that cracked header off.

 

I put my badmab on with stock downpipe, no bolts broke, probably cause low miles, but yes it is a pain in the ass. Then today was a big disappointment , put on my new ac lines on, and turnout my ac condenser has a hole in it! Im spending so much money on my car this month. ( probably already $500 ) with the new ac condenser I have to buy.

 

^^that sucks bro.

 

Yup, pretty happy I didn't listen to others and go spend $60 dollars, plus shipping on a damn shift boot lmao.

 

lol I want a sts, shift boot, and ebrake boot too. but ill wait.

 

Slaaack

 

+1 hah I've not made it to buying parts for inside the car yet... still on the outside.....

i got my dp on with out killing any bolts... although i broke a breaker bar trying to get the damn things loose... 88,xxx miles problem hah
