New Purchases
I recently purchased, well like yesterday, a high flow catted SLP x-pipe setup and professionals products 75mm TB and Plenum (figured good idea since im putting my supercharger back on lol). i was wondering how long i should put aside for both to be installed(i will be doing the install) and yes i order the o2 extenders since my car is an 04. how does the high flow setup sound with the loudmouth 2s?

RE: New Purchases
Dont know how long to install but the exhaust will sound great. Even better if you went offroad although it may be not as much of a hassle if you dont. (black crap on the bumper and tips, emissions)

RE: New Purchases
i tried putting a UPR o/r x on my 04 gt and had trouble with the lower passenger side bolt. i was on my back in my garage on a 30 degree day so i threw in the towel until spring time and when a lift becomes availible. if you have enough swivel sockets (that one bolt is at a weird angle and tight spot)and can get your car high enough the x shouldnt take you long and the TB and plenum is only an hour or two i would estimate.

The SLP X-pipe is modular. It allows you to removed the cats whenever you want to.

Wait till you get the LT's if you have the money. How long for the S/C goes back on? I think it would be awesome to drop all those on in about a week, get that biotch dyno tuned and you'll have a COMPLETELY different car!

RE: New Purchases
midpipes are a pain in the *** i stripped the passenger side header bolt and caused a lot of problems. id say for the midpipe 1-2 hrs and the plenum and tb 20-30 minutes its pretty much a straight swap. be sure to disconnect the battery when u install the midpipe i didnt and almost got shocked cuz my wrench hit the starter
