delay18 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 well i dont think you would put all this work into the exhaust just to cut it up for turbos so i am guessing supercharger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 yeah, phase 2 involves a tvs 1900 As expected, nothing goes according to plan.... put the kiddos to bed and went to work, then rounded off a nut on the stock collector bolts! Plugs, wires and header bolts going back on for the night. got to be driveable in the morning. I'm hanging it up until my next day off so I can make some noise, haha. Don't think my neighbors would appreciate being awaken by the sound of a sawzall.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bfast Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Damn that sucks. All my bolts came loose farely easy. I had to use a cheater bar on the collector nuts, but they broke loose no problem. BFS!! (big f*cking sawzall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCountry Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I can't wait to "hear" them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96vteccd5 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 So I figure I might as well ask, lol. Any luck bro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Yep, got them on..... the headers fit great! I was very impressed with them, slid right in from the bottom, no clearance issues at all. The Tranny crossmember had to be removed, especialy with the modded Y I made. I'm also running a 4" Corsa Duramax catback. I'm still up in the air on the sound.... It sounds like a beast for sure, but still has a little rasp to it. May add a race muffler to tone it down a bit. Allready had the tune for the headers and rear O2 delete. It feels strong up top and doesn't feel like I lost any bottom end, still have traction problems off the line.

I'll get some, but phase 2 depends on how bad the ole lady takes me to the cleaners, it aint pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96vteccd5 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Sweeeeet. So did you have any issues with spark plug wires rubbing? I think I might have to put in an order next week. Glad it came out great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
