Going Greddy

[h82lose]

Alright I'm going to order a greddy sp performace cat back exhaust system for 529 at the local import store. Good price?Good exhaust? The install should take just about an hour right? I'm doing it myself with a friend.

Even an hour is pushing it. Though sometimes stuck bolts slow you down. Good luck man.

yeah just ask jon about how stuck bolts slow you down. then ask him about a 165 pound italian kid hanging from a breaker bar in mid air in a pit didnt even help. bolts are a bitch, soak them in pb blaster and do it while the car is hot, sure you may take the chance of a nice burn mark but if your not a pussy and can deal with it then it will make things a little more easy on you.

Great choice. I myself have the Greddy Evo and I wouldn't trade that exhaust for any other exhaust system.

Hey its good to hear that people like the greddy sp exhaust. So I'm guessing that an hour is pushing it but thats ok I enjoy working on my car. Also hows the sound out of it b16a2si?

The only thing is that you're paying as much as a stainless exhaust would be. Other than that, you can't go wrong with the SP.

yes.. rick hung off of my car and couldn't bust a bolt. Finding a hydraulic lift or a pit is your best bet to get it done in 1hr.

be sure to have a fresh can of WD-40

HAHAHAHAhAhAhAhAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I can imagine you guys doing that crap.....baahahahahahahaha

I just found out I have access to a dremel tool that has a type of saw on it so I will just cut off the rusted bolts. Plus I'm using a hydraluic lift to put the car up. Good times are a comin:licker:

It's real nice. Not like any of those fart cans out there. The only installation problem I had was with the top bolt where the CAT connects to the mid pipe. That fucker took me about 15 minutes to unscrew. Other than that the installation was easy. Shouldn't take you too long. Just don't do it outside on a hot sunny day in August like I did.:hehe: If you don't have a garage to work in, do it in the shades.

Not necessarily, just that if you lived in an area that had bad winters (ice and road salt to deal with) or places with a lot of rain (south Florida, Pac. Northwest) you might end up with a rusty pipe or a hole in your exhaust earlier than expected. It's just when you're paying $500+ for an exhaust, I'd want it to be stainless. That's all.

Good point and since I live in Connecticut we do get snow. What are some types of stainless steel mufflers?

ct sucks... everything from header to muffler is all rusty and ugly on my greddy. not to mention the nickel sized hole in the resonator... thats a different story though.

Actually most every aftermarket muffler is stainless. It's just the piping that isn't.
