nice. did you have to extend the 02 wires? Once it is all done keep a close eye on your Long Term Fuel Trims, you can do this via a OBDII scanner

theeddie

theeddie

got it all on and tuned, kind of raspy but i guess thats do to the xpipe.
the drivers side was a *****, i also need to raise my car up a little.

everytime i get my car tuned the car drives funny for a few days, so ill know more by the end of the weekend

mikey33

theeddie

didnt take any sorry.

Got my tubes on today. Taking the factory still off was easy compared to getting these on. Your really do need someone with skinny arms and super long fingers. Overall not too bad, but I have a lift (and a broke ankle) only gripe. It doesnt linee up with factory exhaust system so I had to call a fab guy I new and he built me a new header to muffler exhaust in 4ish hours to the tune of 240.00 I supplied material.

Whole job only took 5 hrs. I didn't put in any secondary O2s or cats. So awesome so raw I love it.

Sounds like you bought headers only? Did you get a retune or are you driving around with the stock tune for now?

mikey33

Sounds like you are going to have an even bigger BEAST after you get tuned

I finally buckled down and paid for the rest of the exhaust system today

theeddie

broke my double pulley today doh. anyone got a second one or an asp

alextaylor29

Fair point.

I still have not recieved mine for what it's worth, but I volunteered to get my last, because I'm a nice guy.

Can somebody who has installed these from the group buy post a video of them installed or a, "Before and after" dyno sheet?

For the full system with the proper tune is +60HP too much to expect? Again full system here and the right tune.

Just want to get my expecations right. I want 500 RWP! (At 450 now)

As you know, I live in your area (Gilbert) and have the long tubes installed. We can always work out a time for a blast down to Mexico to see what you think! PM me your contact info...

Alex - you're going to have Jerry do a stage 3 tune on yours once you get it installed? I'll have exactly the same set up...180 EC pulley, HE, pump, headers, K&Ns...and I'm wondering if that's a safe tune or if I should stick with a stage 2.

I've got everything just sitting in the garage waiting for the headers - I'm putting everything on at the same time so I don't have to do multiple tunes....

dychen

Just noticed your location, I'm in Gilbert as well. Seems to be a lot of folks here in AZ.

Are there any fitment issues with this set up??

mikey33

I am in Gilbert also

alextaylor29

Sounds like a plan, and I appreciate the offer!

I'm in Queen Creek but work in Scottsdale. There are 5-6 of us here locally, perhaps more which is very cool!

alextaylor29

Yes this is my plan. Before the install I'll do a, "Before" dyno run with my mods now. Then I'll have Jerry do a stage 3, "Pre-tune," and from there get the headers installed.

Once this is done, I'll go back to the same dyno shop, run it again and post the results here.

It will be hot here in the summer but at least people will be able to see the difference. Hoping for 60HP but the heat might take some of that away.

I will post this all here of course.

Not sure of the ETA of the headers though, as I volunteered to get my last, but I will definitely take the approach I've outlined above.

Just got my headers installed. It seems you lose quite a bit of ground clearance. Especially where the flanges are. Just got to be extra cautious over bumps. I'm lowered (slight tire tuck) btw.

alextaylor29

Pictures? Details? HP gain? We need the Info!

chiromikey

lol, you guys are like kids in line at a candy store...you already know it tastes good but you still ask every kid before you how it tastes anyways! all that "needed" info has been well documented and posted over the years.

E55amg/FD3S

I'll try to get some pics up. I still got to get Jerry@eurocharged to remote flash my car before I can throw it on the dyno. One thing is for sure, there is very little difference in the sound of the exhaust as far as loudness goes but I haven't had a chance to jump on it yet. We'll see in a few days.
