Well I just did it last week.
Step 1: Jack up car
Step 2: Lossen bolts, breaker bar and wd-40 might be needed
Step 3: Take O2 sensor out
Step 4: Remove all bolts
Step 5: Put new HFC on (if UR, I recommend getting better bolts,nuts, washers and lock washers)
Step 6: Tighten all bolts
Step 7: Install O2 sensor, put some anti-seize on threads
Step 8: Check for leaks
Step 9: Enjoy

Pretty simple, think that is why no real how to do it thread.

 

turtle did you get a tune after installing yours? i was thinking of doing this but i didnt want to have to tune also.

 

It's really easy, 4 bolts and an o2 sensor. For future ease, put some lube on the o2 sensor when re-installing.

 

I am using the new GST basemap 2.7 for TBE. Been running it for a week and all seems good. I still have the stock exhaust, but from what I have read, the stock cat is a major source of air flow restriction.

 

BUMP!

Anyone get around to writing a full install for this, I can't find gaskets anywhere local so I need to look online anyone have a good link?

 

Once you get under there, it really is a simple matter to swap out the cat pipe. Just remember to take out the o2 sensor first, so the pipe doesn't move on you while torquing on it trying to get the sensor loose.

As far as gaskets go, contact any aftermarket company that makes exhaust components (AMS, CP-E, Buschur, UR, to name a few) and they will be able to get you what you need for relatively cheap, though usually when you buy a new HFC or TP it will come with all new gaskets and hardware.

 

Got it.
But do i need another reflash (other than V2.6) to keep from getting a CEL with a HFC?

 

Someone more knowledgeable about the basemaps would have to chime in on that one. If 2.6 already has the p0420 code removed then it won't matter, but if not, you'll need a spacer or a software change to get rid of the light if you get the code

 

Ill be sitting on this project until the wideband arrives, along with the wait on the 2.7. My tp didn't come with any new gaskets so that's why I asked, I wouldn't mind making my own its really not that difficult. Just the guys at napa really didn't know what I was asking for (morons). Gotta get some antiseize stuff though. Thanks for the inputs

Anyone have a recommended bolt size and length 0.5 x 1.5?
3/8 is too small and 2.5 is too long.
