    Clearance issues with Xpipe install

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I posted a few days ago about my converters on my pypes catted x failing on the same side. I believe I found out why. When I was looking at the pipe a few days ago, I noticed a series of deep scratch marks on the right side of the pipe up by...

    i dont think mrt makes on for our cars. what do you guys think about the slp catted x? supposably you can remove the cats and put in straight pipes if you want fairly easily.

    Best CATTED midpipe for money

    some of you may have seen my dilema with the failing converters on my pypes catted x. here is the thread btw. i chose catted because i live near a tightly-knit neighborhood with elderly people, plus i dont want cops to bother me, so dont try and convince me to get offroad (trust me, i'd LOVE to...

    Help! exhaust manfold bolt wont come off!!

    my fear is i over tightened it though. i was in a pinch and put the x-pipe on with no gasket. i finally got a gasket and its hard as hell to get off.

    PI head swap / suspension

    you can find a complete used headswap kit for less than that (i picked mine up for less than 500, plus gaskets). if you have at least some mechanical skills, you can do it urself, just allocate yourself 2-4 days to work on it, thats what i did. as for the mileage, mine had 112K on it when i...

    PI head swap / suspension

    the parts for the headswap depend on what parts being used. if you're using 99/00 heads, you'll need the matching 99/00 windsor cam covers (btw, these cams are press-on, not bolt on, makes changing cams down the road slightly more difficult). you have the parts mostly right. you'll need a...

    possible reason for loosing coolant?

    seems like my car slowly looses coolant during the winter times only. its not going in the motor, plugs look fine, nor does the oil look creamy. it seemed to stop since the weather's been warmer. think its a leak in the radiator reacting to the changes in temp?
