H-pipes have been scarce since all the off-road ones disappeared and the global supply chain issues have caused meager inventory to show up in drips and drabs

That was fast. Why are H-pipes sold out everywhere?

Does that mean the off road one I need to replace is now made of gold?

yes. Hang onto it or make sure you ask a good price for it. It’s in demand since the epa crackdown

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Been a while since I updated anything. Sadly there isn't much to update. But. I'm still here. Xterra is built. and essentially finished. Got divorced. So that's fun. But...that one change allows me to refocus some money on things.

And this is the summer of Mustang. I'm tired of it just sitting in the garage.

That changes this summer.

Ordered my longtubes and Cat'd H-pipe today. Have the Borla 04 Cobra exhaust sitting in the box. Found a smog pump and all the actuators on eBay. Gonna move it to the middle of my two car garage. completely disassemble the front end. Go through everything. Needs the exhaust, new cooling system, refit the AC, fix some wiring, redo the ENTIRE vacuum system and inspect all the underhood brake lines/master cylinder. Then get put back together with all new headlights, complete interior refit, high end Android radio with backup camera and dashcam DVR functions. LED all the things with updated bulbs. Maybe LED projectors in the headlights. I haven't decided yet. I do have to drop back to 245 tires in the back with the IRS. It's just too wide. I rolled the fenders (the right way with a fender roller) to get rid of the lip but the tires still rub. Widebody kit? hahaha

I think I want an updated steering wheel too. Maybe an SN95. Something with more buttons that I can get to interact with the radio.

It will live. It's going to cost me a ing fortune....but it will live.

Stay tuned.

I feel your pain even if my divorce was 30 years ago...
Alone is alot different than being lonely... Enjoy the cards you have been dealt and don't dwell on the cards you lost.....
And do your self a favor and stay unmarried...

I have the exhaust. I have the cooling system. It's time to kick this pig.

You forgot the part with all the snorkels

Here's the best upper for that lower:

Wouldn't that be a thing. Haha. Higher altitude and induction agree... But... The black OE upper will be here this week.

Took it around the neighborhood today. Annoyed the out of the neighbors I'm sure.

Wheel bearings are angry. Add it to the list.

Parked in the larger garage bay. Ready for surgery.

Prime Lord · Mar 30, 2025

Order of operations.

Clutch and under hood stuff first. Probably a rear main while I'm in there. Once the transmission is bolted back up, I'll get to work on all the corner stuff and then fit the long tubes.

Prime Lord · Mar 30, 2025

Stack of boxes.

You might consider dry fitting the exhaust before and during trans install?

Cool cat approved I see.

Ordered the Valeo clutch kit that lines up w/ the old King Cobra clutch. Should be here early next week. Hoping I don't need a flywheel. This one only has about 5k miles on it, but there was the issue of the salt water flood almost 15 years ago. So I don't know what it looks like. Also ordered a rear main. As one does.
