I've seen the finished product and it looks good... Just saying

 

Rear tires are shot. Less than 1500 miles on thenThe stock rays are back on. I'll post what pics I do have of the Works on later.

 

Time to take them off. They don't handle well in the snow.

Rear passenger tire is shot. The drivers side has almost no wear.


The fact that I never did an actual photoshoot pisses me off. I have no idea when I'll put them back on.

 

looks like you need some new rear rubber bruce

 

Lol. You think? He's down to the metal!

 

I have less than 1500 miles on those tires. Something is messed up.

 

Did u get an alignment, cuz your toe must be f'd up based on only 1500 miles on there

 

eXXXXactly. Bruce, do you have front camber kits?? Even when I had my SPC front arms full maxed out to correct the negative camber, I was still at -2.2 in front.

Gotta do your research bud..

 

Happy Friday!!! What fun are the forums without pics??????? Here's some pics from the ART redo..... thought I'd share these jacks stands I purchased last fall. For those of you with slammed cars you know that you have the jack your car up to a 45* angle just to get it up for a simple task like an oil change. I found that forklift jack stands go much lower (down to 9.25") and I love them. They're a little more $$$ but it's something you'll have for life.




Here's a pic of the old pipes. If you look at the Motordyne website you'll notice they've updated the design. I got these on the forum before they were advertised on their site back in the fall of '10.



Here's the crack



A few pics of the new pipes installed. You can see how the new design incorporates the factory cat brace now. The welds are near perfect as well.







You can see the brace good in this pic


I give them a 10 out of 10 for sounds, finish, and POWER!!!

 

those older ones are fugly as f*ck!!!!! The thing that I find interesting is...not only did the weld crack, but the metal did too. I respect MD and their parts, but man that's just not right. I hope they reimbursed you for labor costs of the install too.



I still to this day don't understand why the resonator comes completely off of the Test Pipe? So only part of the exhaust flow goes into the resonator? What's the point of that rather then having 100% all of the flow go directly through a resonator?

 

Agree... the old ones were ugly yet very effective. The proof was in the pre UpRev dyno numbers. The crack in the pipe was the first thing to go and then the weld followed after driving it more. No labor reimbursement required when you do it yourself

 

Love it....TPs/HFCs are a PITA to get @. The one part I don't mess w/ unless the bolts had already been broke loose once.

 

^ Yep.... it took a lot longer the first time. It's one of those jobs where you get halfway there and you start to second guess yourself.... Did I bite off more than I can chew??? and unfortunately the car is not driveable in this condition

 

Caught this bad girl last night at 7:30...... 51"

 

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SH(*(*TTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! That thing is freakin' HUUUUGE!!!! What kind of fish is that anyways??? Congrats man!


Now that you caught that....go get a hair cut haha jk buddy, we need to see you soon?!
