jsut ordered my x-pipe and was wondering how difficult it is gonna be to install....any precatuions on wires or o2 sensors or anything....thanks in advance

 

I just installed the UPR X-Pipe on my 02 GT today in about 45minutes. None of my nuts or bolts were rusted, so that made it pretty easy. I would say just have a jack handy to hold it while you get it adjusted. And I also found it was easier to unplug the O2 sensors on the factory unit, and transfer them on the pipe before you reinstall. You have a V6, right? On the 4.6 I did find the swivel socket extension to be very usefull.

 

v6 with true duals.....its also an offroad pipe...so yea...thanks for the tips

 

I've heard that - my SLP Catted X should arrive any day. I need to make a trip down to Queers (Sears) and pick one up!

Actually it was more than usefull, it was a must. You have to use deep-well sockets on the manifold nuts, and there is just no room to get lined up without one (swivel, unless you have shorter deep wells than I do). I tried the night before without the swivel and thought I would save myself, and the neighbors from hearing my profanity at 1:00 a.m. The next moring I purchased the swivel and had it done in about 45min. Did notice a ticking today though. Come to find out I forgot to tighten the bolts on the driver side pipe to the X. Oops!

 

might get one as well....ive looked up there and it looks pretty hard to get to...so...ill get one too...thanks for the tip

 

LMAO! That happens to me and my neighbors a lot too! How long of an extender do you need - 6 inches"

Actually, I used two 4" and one 2" on the passanger outside, and just the 8" on the inside. Looked like an erector set! I just kept adding until my knuckles were clear of any sharp edges. I am sure there is a better way, but it got the job done. Laying on my back with the car up on ramps, and the concrete only being about 40 degrees, like the air, I was all about what worked best for the current situation!
