I just bought a upr x pipe for my 01 gt vert. I also got the mil eliminators. I just wanted to see if there are any tricks to putting this on that I might not know about?
Make sure you bolt on that drivers side section first! Also, the little "cone" goes inside the drivers side socket joint at the header. Make sure you spray down all the stock bolts with a quality penetrating spray such as PB Blaster penetrating catalyst.
i would highly advise spraying the X Pipe with high temperature engine enamel. I did mine in flat black. It's been on for years now and there is no sign of rust.
Soak all your bolts down the night before and I mean soak them.
Also some flex sockets come in real handy for the bolts up on the manifolds.
We used air tools and a lift but it was a simple process.
I have MIL elimintors but still throw a code just as a heads up. You may want to get a tune shut off your 02 sensors. Have some Zipties ready to help keep the MILS up and away from the hot X Pipe.
My UPR fits great and I had absolutly no leaks. Great sound with factory catback and no that I have dumped magnaflows sounds amazing.
