Pypes Mid muffler Advice
Im going to order the Pypes mid muffler system by the end of the week. I am going to also try to get my hands on an O/R H pipe also... Heres the Deal, This is going to be "My Thing" as in i want to do the installation and learn first hand with my own experience on this.. My question is how difficult will this be? I hear the mid muffler is hit or miss with it fitting perfectly with your car, thats the only thing that worries me... Any advice before i start this up?

RE: Pypes Mid muffler Advice
That company is a hit or miss with fitment and quality. Have your tools all ready for the install and take your time. I installed my o/r h and fitment was junk. How difficult will the whole kit be? The o/r h would be the hardest to install. tacoBill's tutorial was real helpful as far as the tools needed, battery out,etc. Be sure to look over your parts when you get them. You know the main parts of the mids right? The coupler comes out(15mm deep), I believe? Mufflers, 13mm for hangers, 15mm deep socket for clamps. A little penetrant is good for the first time taking them off, they're on real tight, like our factory oil filter.

It will be a adventure for me for sure. I'll probably end up callin my bud over to help me install em.. He did his H pipe but has the steeda mufflers.. I hate the fact that the system isn't an exact fit..
