how long does it take just for the downpipe? do you have to take off the cat back or midpipe to put it on?

The downpipe should be about an hours work. Not too bad. you have to take off the midpipe and it would be easier to take off the intercooler too.

Oh boy does it rumble. If I blink I'll miss first gear.

And damn, do I hurt all over this morning. It didnt help that it was close to freezing last night. I guess it's time to invest in a space heater.

congrats Huck! was that one of your x-mas gifts? I am going to be getting my exhaust soon too, and will most likely be putting it on myself too, so its good to know about how long it'll take...but I aint doing the up pipe tho....I will have that biotch installed (eh hem, Gino) but the TBE I will do myself.

Nice work tho...especially in damn near freezing weather.....

Well, it's supposed to take about 6 hours but i'll be damned if I could've done it any faster. I found if you kept hustling/moving your hands wouldnt get as cold.

And just the Turbo Back will be easy compared to putting in that damn Uppipe. But hey, I did it myself and if anything goes wrong I know where to look.
