45 ft lbs, I believe the factory spec is 43.
But getting that one demon off it was probably rusted to 150 ft lbs give or take.

I'm running Injen Short Ram Intakes, Top Speed Pro1 Y back, OEM Y pipe (for now) and the OBX Resonated Test Pipes. Here's a shoddy road clip, I'll get a better outside one soon. Hopefully the sound is better on your PCs but

Well... I'm not going to comment on your video skills, and probably because I have none. But your intention was good. And OMG your location goes back-road as soon as you leave the neighborhood, eh? Wow. Pretty sure every farmer in a 5-mile radius knows when the hella-loud black sedan is out for a drive.

What's with the TPMS light? I mean, I have it too, but I've the excuse of winter wheels.

Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
Always meant to get them done, but as you already know I'm a gambler, so . My next set WILL have them, promise

Steel wool trick?

Here's my attempt at "fixing" my CEL:

Tightly pack steel wool into the bung to block some exhaust gasses, reset the ECU. Not 100% to work as with any test pipe/HFC.

Hey Hey, this is a family friendly site (or it WAS), there will be no bung packing, or even talk about it in my thread!

I'm getting a CEL every 500 or so miles with ART pipes. I guess I'll try the steel wool trick as well.

Just got back from a 1800 mile road trip, so 2k miles on the OBX RTPs and NO CEL has been thrown, so it seems that this design w/ the elongated J port mounted to the side right in front of the resonator (which is almost identical, at least visually to the Fast Intentions RTPs) is the way to go for tricking the O2 sensors

Anyone have a link to some good trans fluid to buy for my cocktail?
Any particular brands?
Also any particular acetone brands?

I used some leftover Valvoline Max Life (Nissan Matic S compatible) in the red jug. I'd imagine most any ATF will suffice when mixed w/ Acetone. I used Acetone from my wife's bottle that she got at Sallys Beauty supply for nail polish removal.
