AHHHHH! Thanks guys lol.

Yup, its not mandatory, but still I do it just to CYA. :tup:

The filters (if cared for) are only needing to be cleaned every 25/30k miles. So unless they've been ran hard, even a set of used filters will be ok.

Looks good, you only need whats between the =_________& signs. Any "&feature" stuff is not needed. :tup:

And if you want it to start playing in 720p depending on how you recorded it, you can use the YoutubeHD button too. But you got the idea. :tup:

Yeah, i'm sure it's HD... my roomate took it on his iphone and he's a phone geek lol.

Keep in mind the ART pipes take about 1500 miles to settle in as well, but I only have about 400 or so on them, so the sound will settle down a whole lot in the next few months.

As far as the exhaust goes... I though about polishing the entire thing... even the pipes that aren't done, but I guess you can see them, so it wouldn't matter much.

Oh really? Didn't know that about them, well then by the time they're settled, your exhaust will be too. You'll notice the tone will deepen a lot. :tup:

Usually for basic cleaning I'll only polish the tips, and depending on how tired I am, I may/may not clean the cans. Since they aren't usually really dirty...

If I'm going to a show though I make sure to knock those out. For any piping in front of them, they're barely visible and not worth the hassle of lifting the car to access.

Yeah, i'm just so picky about my car. and I used to actually polish aluminum and SS for people, motorcycle wheels, frames, old car intakes, etc etc... it takes A LOT of work though, especially when you have to cut casting down. The cans and such are beautiful obviously, and most would never notice... you can just see BARELY in the halogen lights I use for detailing that the pipes have just a slight hint of scratches from the buffing process. Once you get to a point of polishing though... ANYTHING will scratch it... even just touching it with your finger.

LoL That explains the username. :tup:

Quite :tiphat: the only problem is things get to a point where you have to say... ok enough and that is difficult to do lol.

LoL True true... we all have our mod road blocks.

Damn right!

non resonated ftw

:iagree::iagree:

Quick question for those of you who did the install of your CBE or whatever your set-up is, yourself... or for Tony if he happens to stop by...

Do the 2 pipes that connect to the cats or test pipes have to go on a certain side or are both pipes the same? The gaskets have to be turned a certain way, so I wasn't sure about the pipes. When I look at them, they don't line up completely flush with my ART pipes which are the same size flanges as stock and I would assume that this exhaust is the same as well?

Well there are only 2 ways the pipe can go on. It wont fit either way?

No no, I mean, they fit... but I don't know if the flanges on both of the pipes (the ones that are seperated and go from the mid pipe to the cat or test pipes... whatever someone has) are supposed to fit flush to the other flanges... in other words, was one pipe made specifically for the drivers side and one for the passengers?

Yes one pipe is made for the driver side and one is made for the passenger. The installation instructions that I sent with the exhaust explain all of this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thanks, Tony

ahhh sh!t ... I gotta check on it now.. I think they are correct... but I need to look it over again lol.

Yep, I just checked a little bit ago... I got it right, I just was making sure, I was just thinking the gaskets and the way they went on, made me worry a little.

Ok, I replaced the gaskets that I TRIED to use but they just produced a leak... my fault though.. I didn't read the directions like I should have.

Oh well though, I fixed everything tonight and when I started it, it was much more quiet than last night. I also disconnected the battery to make sure the ECU is reset for when I take it out. Hopefully that will be tomorrow, but it's been raining here so much I haven't wanted to take the car out.

I do indeed LOVE the tone though... it's just an excellent sound. This was actually the exhaust I picked out over all of the ones I listened to even before I got the car when I went through all of the vid clips... plus it looks AWESOME lol.

Anyway, I am still going to try to get some vids outside of the car of take-off, drive by, etc.

Just placed my order for the CBE w/18" resonators. Getting the resonated HFCs from a forum member at a great price too. I am #398. Hello to everyone on the waiting list.

well i'm happy for you man... I thought you were going to give yourself permanent brain damage from going through all the choices lol. IMO you made the correct one however.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I was analyzing every option and combo. Install will be in November so I still have a while to wait

oh well, just wait and relax until it comes to your door then... at least you got it ordered. You going to do the install yourself?

Actually, it won't be coming to my door. I'll be driving there and having them install it. Saves me $90 shipping and have the masters install it as well. Their install rates are very reasonable for the CBE/HFC combo. Plus, there's a tune shop nearby I will go to after the install for an Uprev tune.

oh ok cool.

Are you going to Specialty Z for the tune?

yep

Cool. Keep us posted. I have my FI CBE install coming up soon and am thinking about the tune too.

Yeah, my install date is set for November 18th, so it'll be a while.

Yeah I know, I'm in no rush. It's going to be awhile before I do the tune I think.

i'm not doing a tune until I get the CAI's and pulleys myself.. try to save a little bit of money if possible

My thinking too. I want to wait until I have a few more mods before I do the tune.

question:
Is tony really raising the lowest part of the exhaust by an inch? I heard this on another thread

The goods will arrive next Thursday, guess what I am doing on Thursday night? Getting down, dirty and kinky with my girl in the garage!

He told me the new design which has been in effect for about 3 months has more ground clearance than the old one.

Yeah, waiting for all your mods before a tune would be good. I think the CBE and HFCs will be my old power mods though. I heard the CAI won't make much of a diff if it's coming on after the exhaust. You mainly feel that one if it's your first mod, or that's what people tell me. I am also doing an oil cooler and spacers, but those will be on before the rest and aren't performance mods (though i guess the oil cooler allows the car to perform).

If you're planning on doing the CAI and pulleys and more, though, def good to save by doing the tune later, although a friend of mine was overheating on the track because he was running too lean and that forced him to get a tune. I also heard that the first Uprev tune costs the most because they need to register you and stuff. Subsequent ones shouldn't be as much.

I know as of right now the best combo for getting over 300 whp is the CBE, HFCs or TP's and a CAI... many people are now throwing the pulleys in the mix and some are even going with the 4.08 gears, but i'm not sure about that one. I HEARD that it messes with the 6's rev match, but that's why you don't go by what you hear.

I have an install date set for November too!

What number are you? I'm 367 and waiting anxiously.

357, you don't have long to wait!
