bump for tony + are we going to keep updating the builds?

Thanks

Ok question for you guys. I bought my exhaust used and the person that owned it before me tracked the car so the marks seemed to be baked right in.

I used Mothers metal polish tonight. Worked very well and getting most of the black off but now there are still marks that you can't even feel. If you rub your finger over these marks it feels 100% smooth. I tried to take a picture of them but it doesn't show in the pictures, the only way I can explain it is; they are like brown birth marks IN the tips.


Any suggestions? The polish seems to get everything off that is on the surface but this doesn’t seem to be on the surface anymore, is this possible?


Edit: I have only used a microfiber towel so far, should I use something more aggressive?

Ordered mine yesterday:tup:

So due to my recent knee surgery I wont be able to install my exhaust myself this weekend and got a quote to install my exhaust with HFC. They quoted me 400-500. Roughly 4 hours or so. Good price or no?

I'm assuming this price is labor, disposal fee, and tax?

My shop in Chicago charges only 400 dollars total for my headers and exhaust.

Waiting not quite patiently for UPS to drop ours off!

That is the heat discoloring the stainless steel. You have to use a polish with abrasives, I used Meguiar's 105 compound on mine and it cleaned up all the staining and other imperfections easily and quickly with a microfiber towel. You can also use something OTC like Megs Ultimate Compound or any other aggressive polish you have.

Here is how mine turned out:

Very nice!!! Thank you! Ok, I will look at what I have at home!

today was a good day. Got two boxes from FI from the UPS guy this evening.

Thanks Tony!! :tup:

just wondering how long does 18" res exhaust take for installation? how much does it cost?? there is 1 guy, told me that can install exhaust @ his garage and quoted me $180+parts/materials needed. i have no idea what "parts/materials" he is talking about.... any input??

Wow what a great price... Bc there no extra parts with the installation

You shouldn't need anything, but sometimes there are missing bolts or whatever. I've gotten exhausts in the past that were missing a bolt or a gasket.

Just ordered my TDX CBE from Tony today, #313!!! anyway I have to weekend to finalize my order. I'm still on the fence between Test pipes (Straight up no resonator) and or long tube heads. BTW I'm thinking of going test pipes without resonator. Anybody tried or heard that set up, TP no resonator with TDX CBE no resonator with SS mufflers? every opinion welcome, thanks.

Ryan,
does your TDX CBE have a resonator, how much for the install of the headers and CBE? or did you do it yourself.
