Fast Intentions RTP's - Break in period?
 

This may be a stupid question but im curious....

I have the Fast Intentions Resonated Test Pipes to put on my stock exhaust... Hopefully getting them installed tomorrow.

Just curious as to how long I should wait before taking it on long drives/thrashing it again because Im going on a cruise the very next day and I dont want to be worried the whole time that im doing damage to the engine :eekdance:

Anyone know if that will be a problem?
Will i need a tune?
Someone put me out of my misery asap please! :tiphat:

No real break in per say, start her up, let the system idle for a bit.
Only break in will be the pipes warming up and burning off any anything which may cause it to smell a little.

Thanks dreamer...
weel the pipes were second hand anyway, friend had them on for a little while so they should already be 'burnt in' i guess.
Just dont want the CEL flashing at me on the cruise all day sunday, scared ill drive it too much too soon or something!

Did you use all new gaskets, bolts and nuts?

ummm nope... will be using same gaskets bolts and nuts from stock system... will that be a problem? :S
(Installing tomorrow)

You really should replace all of these with new pieces. It's what you're supposed to do, but I wonder how many have here?

oops... well i bought the pipes second hand from a friend on the forum and didnt get all the other pieces, would these be generic pieces i could find or would they be specific to that part? First exhaust mod I haveever done on a car!!! hahaha hellllllllllppp!

ps. thanks for the advices so far! :tiphat:
