Well, after many days of procrastination.....I did it. I put my up pipe on. To give you a sense of how long I've been putting it off.... I bought the gaskets at the SCS meet LAST year.

I had to take a break and go buy a 1/2" to 3/8" socket for the breaker bar and my damn 22mm swaybar was all up in the way of the engine mount bolt. Then I bought some sushi to eat and some hebrew to drink while finishing.

:banana:

 

is hebrew a jewish beer or something?

 

lol yes it is. I went into Bristol farms to buy some sushi and some fat tire ale when I saw hebrew "the chosen beer"


I also discovered that you can go to Bristol farms for lunch and eat for free. Seriously, every 5 steps and there's a different sample. They even had samples of wine.

 

Thats one of the best mods. How long did it take you?

 

I dont really know. I took a few breaks and had to unbolt a swaybar mount due to the bar being in the way. This is the 3rd up pipe install I did. Last one I did, it took me like 10 minutes to maneuver the stock pipe out of that tight space. It took me like 30 seconds this time. But I also had some trouble getting the downpipe bracketback on the tranny. And the o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold. I didn't feel like cutting the heatshield.

I don't feel like doing another one, but I may have to help a friend with one.

 

And then there's SHEBREW - the whiny beer
