Finally installed my Vibrant resonators. Used my ****ty harbour freight welder, and its ugly, but no leaks!


Sounds pretty good. Only went down the street and back, and some lady yelled at me for making noise so I guess it worked.





(I know, its ugly)

Unsightly.
Do the spacers.

LOL, I know, It's pretty terrible looking.
But it looks like that because the welds were ground down after.

Hey dude, props to you for doing it yourself. There is stuff on my car that I've done myself that's not 100% perfect. But, the fact that I tackled the job myself makes it worth it and you feel a sense of accomplishment. And, I can always go back and re-do it with the knowledge I have gained.

Plus, it's meant to be a budget setup. I'm sure you saved like $70 + opposed to going to a muffler shop and having it done. And, the exhaust probably sounds equivalent to more expensive catback systems out there.

Nice job, iCrap. And props. I've never welded a damn thing in my entire life.

Here's what I did today... installed my new P2M aluminum clamp for the upper radiator hose. Not a whole lot of skills needed here, LOL.

Props to Kyle at Import Parts Pro. Order placed and paid for Sun. Received the Eibach Pro-Kit this afternoon. Had enough time to install the rears before dinner. Planning on tackling the fronts tomorrow as time allows.

Thought it was worth mentioning that in order to push the lower control arms down far enough to remove the OEM spring, I had to disconnect my Invidia muffler on each side. Otherwise the lower control arm was butting up against the flanges.
