HFCs came today, but no one was home. Gonna pick them up from the post office tomorrow and try installing them with help from Kirk's Garage. Also doing an oil change tomorrow, trying Mobil1 0W-40 (used Mobil1 5W-30 before). Front lip will be installed on Tuesday.

What kind of HFC you get? Btw how did you get the Berk CBE for 720$? Was it new?

I got the CNT Racing/ERZ HFC. Wanted the Berks to go with my CBE, but I couldn't get over the $100 savings

No it was a used one. I guess the guy was trying to get rid of it quickly and I was the first to jump on the offer. You see these crazy deals on the forum from time to time. There was a guy in VA a couple weeks ago who sold his FI exhaust for like $400!

Good luck installing those cats today B1ades. This also just dawned on me, is your name a God of War reference??? I cant believe it took me that long to connect that.

My cousin and I tried the install last night and failed.

Gonna see if I can get a more experienced person to help me out. Otherwise I have to pay a shop to do it.

Yeah it is a God of War reference. It's one of my favorite games

Spray the bolts with PB Blaster and let them sit for a few hours. If you have 24" worth of extensions and a u-joint socket, you should be good to go.

Tried all of that but still no luck. I think we used too small of a breaker bar. Found out my cousin had a bigger one, but not till we already gave up and put everything back together.

I bought an impact 14mm (6 sides) socket and impact wrench extensions and a 24" breaker bar from harbor freight. Used the pb blaster too. It was difficult but worked. Good luck!

Thanks! I'm gonna try again on Saturday, this time with the help of a local member who's done it before on his Z.

b1adesofcha0s · 02-22-2012, 09:24 AM

HDR shots didn't come out as good as usual, I gotta mess with the settings on the app.
