Anyone wants to help a noob swap out his exhaust? Lol not hard but being new to this platform and all itd be sweet to turn wrenches with others. food on me lol. I think itd be better to do this than pay for install (it being 100 for just dp) im set for jan 3rd so im hoping for this to be done nxt friday possibly.

Ps also thinking on getting and installing an intake setup idk if its worth it or not yet for a stage 2 w/ a mbc + fp + catless tbe

 

If yer getting a custom tune and want the looks and sound it wouldnt be totally bad to get an aftermarket intake. Stock is good for around 400hp tho.
And what year is your car?
Ive swapped many exhausts out on a GD.

 

Help me pls lol and mines an 05. Ive seen people claim up to +20 hp on a perfect tune but ive read many arguements on it. 2-300 doesnt justify sound notes for me lol

 

Sorry you're not more local to us north bay folks. Always a few of us willing to lend a hand. even something easy like an exhaust swap can take time without experienced mentorship. Make sure you've got replacement gaskets for everything and it never hurts to lube up your hangers when pulling the axleback.
as scoobywax said, the intake won't net you any power. I'd recomend installing it before the tune since you'll end up getting one eventually (it does sound great) .

 

i use dish soap on hangers but if you still have the stock ones you shouldn't need em. Are you taking out the downpipe also, or just the cbe?

 

i use windex !
