Ill try that too. I hope the off road prochamber will sound good with the flows. Hopefully not overly loud too.

Dont forget the beer too. I agree with the above, get some pipe for better leverage. Have your bro get under the car and hold the socket/extension/ratchet in place while you crank on it with that pipe.

If you use a longer bar for leverage, just make sure to put it all the way to the top of the ratchet. A buddy of mine put it in the middle of the handle and snapped his ratchet right in half. Kind of a cheapo tool, but still.
Good luck and let me know how the O/R ProChamber sounds. I'm thinking about getting one.

Yea I'll let you guys know how it sounds, maybe even upload a clip. My bro is out right now picking some tools up. I got to be at work at 6 so it looks like the install will have to wait but, thats the easy part.

You will enjoy it. I have my prochamber going into MAC catback, and the idle is quiet but the open throttle still has some good sound.
You can here a recent clip of it here:

RE: Need help with Midpipe Install
Do what I did :
1.heat the stud holesup with a torch
2. remove studs
3. go to bolt store and replace with bolts and washers
4. screw bolts and washers directly into manifold using them to hold flanges on .
i've seen several people with the same prob as you if you turn too hard then you will break the studs in the manifold so heat the holes in the manifold up till their glowing red then get as many turns as you can then repeat till they come out . I can take my exhaust on and off with ease . It's a guaranteed fix .
