When I picked it up today I didnt know what to expect and could only do a comparison to the Crucial pipes Ive seen thru the internet,.. the silver coat looks really nice, and the Helix flex isnt coated on the outside either, but looks good anyways,..I would post pics of the pieces, but gf is on Maui playing for the 3.5 Womens tennis regionals and has the digital camera...

So, I guess until I get to meet some more I-clubbers personally at a meet, I wont ask for a uppipe install day,..Have the tools and even compressor etc, and I figure I could do the shorty dp install no problem in the meanwhile,..but will wait on the uppipe just in case I need some guidance in case worse case scenario some bolts break or exhaust leaks etc. Its only cause FAQs says its a little more time consuming,.

Next post will be pics on Monday,..


its just my $.02 but i think you should knock out the uppipe along with down, it makes it that much easier i think when u have the down what . but thats just what i think.

Here are the pics,..And btw,..I thought Id just do the dp first since I can pretty much do this bolt on without jacking the car up (maybe for the 2 dp bolts though) and since I dont have the gaskets for the crosspipe and pass ex. manifold to block yet,...

I really dont know how thick the Crucial pieces are to Hi Tech's coating since Crucial's caoating is black,..but you can judge for yourself,..

Thumbs up

That's how my upipe looked. As Bobby said, install the up and down at the same time, saves some hassle, but up to you.
