Good reason to buy the Arrow slip on as well
. Haven’t got a serious answer to your question. But someone here will know.
It either stayed in the stock muffler, stuck on the stock pipe or fell on the floor. They don't just disappear. Put some grease on the gasket before trying to slide it on the pipe. These type gaskets are delicate and easy to destroy when installing.
Maybe somebody stole it
Easier to get to than the Cat.Maybe somebody stole it
Were you get your headers from, looking for a set, but running into road blocks.
Same here. Would like to find some in the US with pricing. Who is the go to for a cat bypass?
They are available, I got a set from a supplier that will custom order, I had to prepay and it did take nearly 3months but it came in the time frame given by supplier.
I went to ebay and just ordered a set. Haven't used ebay for a while and hope it works out. Sounds like you already have yours and installed. How did the install go? No additional parts needed? I'm not changing out the muffler. Mostly doing this to bypass the cat without gutting it.
It’ll be inside the stock siliencer. Mine was when I tried an Arrow silencer. Had to ease the gasket out of the OE silencer to use it in the Arrow.
Agreed, nice kit. But don’t like the Alu brackets that hold the bushing (I guess) to the engine. Torqued them to spec but they do bend. Alu don’t like that. I seem to recall that @~TABASCO~ sells stainless steel ones for that reason. I will probably end up buying a set from him. The antiseize was supposed to go between the sliding bits huh? The crappy manual that was included didn’t mention a thing where to use it so I used it on the threads.
Yeah, the manual was a little vague. I was cautious with the aluminum flange that held the inserts, I knew they would bend so I was easy on them, doesn't take much to hold them, you just don't want the nuts backing off. Yeah, you want the anti seize or whatever they call it on the slip joints, think I even put some on the joint between the collector and muffler. That little bit in the packet doesn't look like much but a little goes a long ways. Everything on mine fit really nice together except for the rear lower mounting hole, that was forgiveable.
After the install I fired mine up, the sound is a little deeper, the pulses out the muffler a little more pronounced. It seems to run with a little more 'stuff' which I'd expect. Air in, air out is the recipe for horsepower. I'm thinking about the ecu remap. I'm going to check my throttle body balance first and see if that helps my off idle weakness. I'd like to see it a little richer at idle than the factory 14.5 or .7 they use. It would make quite a bit of difference. I was sitting at a light and getting ready to move out and the engine quit when I started to twist the throttle. It was cool out and the engine wasn't warm yet. I can stand the weakness off idle but dying doesn't work for me, that may have been the weather or the headers.
