Sorry Blacktibs, I couldn't find a camera to borrow 02.gif


Anyway, I got the rest of the exhaust parts and finished up the header with about 4 coats of silicon spray.

I just dropped the tib off at the shop this morning and should get it back by 4:00-5:00 today.

I'm sooooo excited, I can't wait to get it back!!!!

I told them to try and go for under-axle but we'll see how that goes.

some pics\/\/\/







I'll definitely find a camera and get some sound clips up in the next couple of days!

Please tell me you didn't bake that in the same oven you cook food with. VOC's are not your friends.

That VHT paint doesn't hold up well over time. Starts to flake off.

my VHT looked like it did when i coated it, a year after i sprayed/baked it. i couldn't tell you what it looks like now.

the wrapped header looks AWESOME.. good job.. should drop temps a good amount..

lots of resonators and stuff.. should be quiet.. DEMAND some HIGH quality clips when its done.

I was impressed how much header wrap dropped the temp in my engine bay. The header no longer radiates heat, it's just really hot now.

The shop just called, I should be getting the tib back around 12:00 tomorrow.

I HATE not having my tib, even for a day mad.gif

Actually I did, but luckily I move out in a month and will never have to use the oven again lmao.gif

I will clean it thoroughly for the next tenants though.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dang son thats alot of resonator, post a vid when you get her on.</div>

I will ASAP.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Why no catalytic converter??

Lol, I guess it does look a little small for a Cat.

I like clean air to, it's why I drive a fuel efficient car fing02.gif

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>That VHT paint doesn't hold up well over time. Starts to flake off.</div>

muhh, I wouldn't expect much better for 7.99 a can at Autozone.

I will hopefully be boosted within a year so it shouldn't matter that much laugh.gif

Thanks SOCKS!

Much appreciated, I'll get on those clips ASAP tomorrow fing02.gif

Well, I just got my car back.

I am very happy in terms of volume level. It is very quiet.

I does however sound very much like a fart cannon mad.gif

I'll have to wait and see how the sound changes after I get some miles on it.


Anyway, I'm going to Circuit City now to see about purchasing a Digi-Cam.

Hopefully I will have exhaust clip by the end of the day.
