chawkins6789 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I havent spent much time there. Just been passing through on the 10 and spent time in NO and Baton Rouge. I lived in NW Florida before California. I did a lot of in town driving and really nothing over 55 unless I was on the interstate so drone was not an issue. Curious as to how the XR1 will sound when cruising at 75. When I was picking parts before the Corsa I was set on the XR1 Sportsman.

Brentd Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Summitt fairy stopped by today, headers,y pipe, and intermediate pipe will be in on thursday, then just waiting for a few days off of work to get it slapped on.... May not look it, but spent a few hours cleaning in preparation for the exhaust install, good news i can touch anything under the hood and not get filthy, bad news, found out i am yet another victim of the notorious broken drivers side rear manifold bolt. Noticed it while cleaning and quickly let out a string of obscenities in the driveway which made a lady walking her dog freak out any my wife came running outside to check on me lol.

There was a very detailed thread written awhile ago on them. Basically it's just a tube, some have more heat soak than others. you did good. It looks nice.

Brentd Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Jason, how do you like the 305s? Are your wheels 8.5" wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to ask someone if they are willing to take an angle drill and drill a small hole in it and tig weld another smaller bolt to it. Then try to spin it out. If you were near me I could get that damn thing out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
