I just ordered a catless Helix Downpipe to mate up with my HKS Carbon Ti exhaust.. also ordered the Cobb AP so I can better manage the engine and prevent overboost. I also have heard nothing but good things about the Cobb.

My question is; will a place like Exhaust Systems Hawaii install a catless downpipe? Have any of you had downpipes installed? If so where did you go? I got my exhaust in Kailua at Exhaust Systems, they were really cool over there.

 

Install it yourself it takes like a hour...They're easy. Why would you even pay them to do it there are tons of people that can help you out all you have to do is ask..

 

yea it's cheaper to do it yourself but if you don't like messing with things you know nothing about, go see ryan at vakamon.

 

i can help

 

yea I definitely want someone who knows their stuff messing with the Downpipe.. I heard you gotta be super careful not to **** anything up down there?

I think I will either take it to Exhaust systems or Ryan at Vokamon

 

i have done 3 dp in like 2 hours or so taking my time i would say the hardest thing is manuevering around the dp trying to get bolts out of awkward areas. other than that just make sure you spray them down with liquid wrench b4 starting. honestly you can do it yourself and save money but preferably if you know someone here that knows how to do it that is willing to watch over that would be better. goodluck

 

I would let someone do it as long as they know what they are doing... i'm not too familiar with downpipes and exhaust systems..

4080,

you said you've put three dp's on the wrx/STi??? do you have a garage and all the tools? how much would you charge to do it?

 

i have a car port i wouldnt mind helping only thing is i am in georgia right now till about the 20th or so...as far as charging your first born should be sufficient :P.....but seriously most of us here will work for food and beer and hoping one day you will return the favor back to that person or someone else. its all about helping each other out here!!!

 

thats awesome!!! I'd definitely provide the food and a lot of beer too haha..

I'll probably have it on by the time you get back to Oahu.. are you at BNCOC right now? Think I remember you saying in another thread that thats why you were in Georgia..

 

yup i am in Bncoc right now..are you in the army?

 

yea I work in the ER up at Tripler right now.. should be in Hawaii for another 11 months

 

it should be easy, i just hope u dont have some really siezed nuts or bolts like others had. even after reading all the write ups and all i was still scared at first so i had a friend guide me too. it was jus simply unbolt and bolt, the hard part is getting good leverage and reaching some bolts but thats it...

 

flyguy3663 sup its the other Mike....yeah when you get it in let me know I will try to help out. I just don't have the tools. I haven't seen anything on here about the Thursday meets also.

 

thanks man.. i'll hit you up tomorrow and see whats up..

 

alright sounds good.
