Still have it, still love it

 

Nice!!


So now I just have to wait it to arrive. =)


By the way, was it easy to install. Like bolt on easy?
And Did you have to make any extra space for it? Just asking because there is that extra piece in the middle.

 

Very easy to install, except for those (*^^&^&& donuts.
No extra space required.
I installed it all by myself, jacked up rear by pumpkin ( differential ), installed jack stands, removed jack and access was easy.
( 2 1/2 ton floor jack and jack stands are almost mandatory, unless you have a friend with a lift )

Used the jack to support the OBX until I got the donuts ( rear hangers ) on.
To be honest, getting the hangers off the OLD exhaust was the hardest part.

 

Okey sounds like the job that I can handle my self.
Yeah thats one thing that came to my mind that should I buy new donuts cause I have no idea of the condition of the old ones...

Yep luckily my friend happens to have lift.

I'm sad that we don't have any meetings here at Finland cause it would be so nice to compare other people cars to mine and maybe have some new ideas.

Well thanks a lot for the advices!! =)

 

I put a Magnaflow on my roadster and I'm happy with it. Last month we put one on my son's coupe and he likes it. His biggest complaint was he expected his mpg to go down as he rev's it more to hear it.

 

So now it's on! I installed OBX-catback and I love it...


Hardest part really was to get the last hangers off 'cause there is not much space to work.
We had to do it with my friend. I pushed the resonator little bit up and my friend pushed the hanger with long screwdriver. After couple of curses it was done.


Also the bolts in the connector were so rusted that we had to cut those and put new ones.


The original cat-back is working fine and we polished and painted it ready to be selled or to be given to someone who needs original.


I'm really pleased to OBX and I can recommend it to everyone. Afterall it's only 250-300$.


Now I just have to fix the RCM-solding and get rid of the P0410 "errrorcode" and my car is ready for Finland-Sweden-Denmark-Germany-Austria roadtrip.


Thanks for the advices! =)

 

Just a note to anyone removing the OEM cat back for any reason :
invest $20 and get a new set of hanger donuts :
Crossfire Muffler Hangers

Cut the old ones to remove the muffler, it's not worth the hassle to try and remove them without destroying them ( or your hand/arm ).

Also, remove the big black baby buggy bumper thingey from the OEM and re-use it above the OBX as seen at the top of this picture :

 

You've just Awesomed all over the place!

 

Strange, exactly what my wife said last night ....

( and then she made me clean it up )
