I am sure someone out of my 300 exhaust systems installed has to have that combination.

Do you already have our exhaust or is it something you are planning for?

and im looking for someone with the F.I exhaust with ART pipes to hear what that combo sounds like :)

Well, I have my UPS tracking info, the exhaust is on its way!:happydance: Says it should arrive this Thursday. In preparation I got under the car today and sprayed all bolts with PB blaster (I might hit 'em one more time on Wed). Everything looks like it should be straight forward, it's the first time I actually got a good look under the car.

For others who have done the install themselves I've got some questions. I backed up onto Rhino ramps in my driveway. Seems like I can get to all the bolts fairly easily (with the exception of the connections at the CATs where I had to crawl under from the side of the car. Wondering if I should bother jacking up the front a bit as well in order to get to the bolts near the front a little easier). Does anyone have any tips/tricks they can share? Anything I need to watch out for? I plan on doing the install the day it arrives (take off early from work if I have to). I heard it takes roughly 1.5-3hrs from start to finish.

Thanks in advance!

If you're just doing the catback, rear rhino ramps should be fine. The FI catback is really easy to install. Even if you're also doing HFCs it's still pretty easy, but you might need to lift the front as well to break the Cat<->Manifold bolts easily.

I'd say, if you have the Ability to jack up the whole car, might as well for peace of mind. If not, then I would recommend to jack up the front end first, and get the HFC's on since that will be the most difficult part. And then if you run out of time, you can just bolt them to the stock exhaust, come back the next day and do the rest of the exhaust jacking up the rear end.

^^Agreed. Removing stock cats might take awhile.

Thanks for the tips guys. I didn't opt for the HFCs just yet, so I'll just be installing the catback only. I might find some thick planks to put under the front wheels for a little extra room near the front. I just don't trust jack stands for much other than changing tires/wheels (where I'm not directly under the car).

Boo, i scrapped my CF exhaust can backing into a space on stone curbing...:ugh::mad:

Instant No Button! Star Wars funnies FTW!

:bowrofl:

That sucks Pelican, takes some getting used to the new clearance and the cans. I tend to park front first or give extra room when parking in reverse.

:icon18::icon18:

hahah, that pic described exactly how i felt once i saw the scrape mark hahaa. yea, its going to take a little getting used to and im going to have to give it some extra room for parking. i figured it would happen eventually, at least now i know to me more cautious about it...

Check out the pm I sent you. Call me if you need anything.

Hey Tony,

Thanks for your reply. I have one other question. When I got the exhaust on, the tips seems aligned fine. But now after driving for a couple weeks, it looks like one is sitting lower than the other, but both seem to sit a little low to me. is there a way to get these to sit higher towards the bumper and to be aligned?

Or if anyone has an idea of how i can get the tips to sit closer to the bumper? seems like they are hanging almost an inch lower than it and kinda looks like they are pointing down a little... maybe its my eyes haha.
