how hard was it to install your mid pipe? Are you running mil eliminators?

Sounds very good man, i like it!

The mid pipe was easy its two peices but they were not difficult to align, the only hard part was hopeing not to mess up the rusty bolts i had on there originally. The good thing was i had already removed the orignal mid pipe once to install my clutch, removing it the second time for the mid pipe was not too bad.

No im not running any mil eliminators i am using an xcal 2 tune that a buddy made for me to eliminate the rear o2 sensors which is enough to keep the check engine light off.

by the way when i shut the door or come to a stop i can hear the pipes kinda clanking around back there, i need to get under the car and make sure everything is tight. Is this normal for a bolt on cat back?

I use to have that setup with a catted X pipe for UPR. Now I run catted H from mac with mac cat-back. They both sound mean, I just got frustrated because the upr messed up the alignment of my mac cat-back thats why I switched out.

Mine lined up pretty well, i found out where the clanging is coming from, the drivers side muffler pipe that goes over the rear axle is tapping the frame. I think the drivers side pipe is loose, i can move it up and down and thats when it taps the frame, while the passengers side tail pipe has no movement at all.

I should be able to give it a bit more clearance by adjusting the pipe, and keep it from moving by tightening it up.

the rattle you may hear just look at your hoop over the axle it MIGHT be hitting the subframe/unibody over the axle if its not aligned exactly when you close the door. or could hit the axle just a touch.

my upr x pipe taps the tranny crossmember.

Duff Daddy: that is exactly where it was hitting, right on the hoop over the axle tapping the subframe, i tightened it all up this morning and there is no knocking anymore.

Sam: thats what i wanted to get a good vid of next, the rev in the video was about 3,500k, i wanna make a vid at WOT and one at a slow take off.
