And it was two pieces, not very heavy at all... The only tricky part was holding it up in place and tightening it on. On and I drilled .arger holed on the stock pipe to make it fit better. Next is the downpipe and ap.

Normally I don't like red rims, but they look really good on your car man. Oh, and is that the project wagon in the garage...

Sorry Ryan, they look better on his car

Didnt notice a difference afterwards taking it for a test run and my car had 100k on it. One less bushing to worry about now though. Slowly making it through the box of bushings thats been sitting in the garage...

I just ordered a set for my car. Back in the day, I guess like 10 years ago now, shops would often have an "installed" price for them, and say they would do it while you wait in around 30min. Basically, if you have ever experienced the issue where it seems like "center" of your steering moves from time to time or especially after some hard cornering, that is what the bushings fix. If you never noticed this with 100k miles and ~10 years on the car, drive harder! My car just turned over 64k miles and I feel like I need them. I have had a mechanic show me the rack moving (albeit slightly) while another fellow was gently moving the wheel from side to side (not on my car).
