I admit, it's kind of a weird question, but I've been dumping out quite a bit of extra income lately and it might be a little while before I can afford an X cal. I'm sure that most guys, these days, probably go for retunes first. When I started, headers were a basic staple. Always one of the very first things that you did.

You do not have to retune for headers.

i thought you didn't have to retune for shortys but had to for long tube?

You need to relocate the 02 sensors, as close to the collector as possible and disable the 2nd bank of 02 sensors. Not exactly a retune, but its not a simple bolt on.

ah, i see.

rygenstormlocke

yea, I knew there was a 02 sensor issue with long tubes. So I called around and got the details. I can't take the credit. LOL.

I noticed that the bolts that hold the vibration damper on the old V6 muffler are the same as the ones that hold the muffler hangers to the frame. I figured that I might as well use them, I'll probably throw the old muffler out anyway. If you save the 2 extra bolts from the extra hanger (as mentioned before) and save the 2 bolts that are attached to the original muffler damper assembly, you will have enough bolts to install both hangers on the left side. Also, prior to cuttin' my bumper (I used a Dremel, too) I put masking tape over the area to be removed. This did two things. First it protected the area from unintentional nicks and scratches while doing the work. Second, it made a great marking surface to draw the marks for the hole. I made the initial cut, staying about 1/4" inside of the line. Then, using an electric drill with a drum sander attachment, I expanded the hole to it's finished dimensions. Then I removed the leftover tape. This gave me a perfectly shaped hole with no paint chips or imperfections of any kind. Dave

Hi All,
I have a 06 Pony and I'm going to change to dual exhaust - need some muscle sound! I read all your posts - very helpful. I don't know crap about which is the best muffler although I have heard good things about the Magna Flow. What would be the best duals to buy to convert the Pony to a dual? I am going to have the shop put it in so any info on what the cost might be on that would be helpful too.

Thanks,
