Just cut your LICP and weld a bead around it. Had to do the same thing on my race pipe.

If you have the time just do it right and get the correct outlet pipe. I was tempted on cutting the race pipe also but then I wouldnt have the boost nipple for my synapse bov c-port.

 

Yeah? I think your right. It will be a lot easier to cut the LICP than the compressor outlet pipe.

Or do you think I should get a stock IX compressor outlet pipe?



So your saying to get the stock IX compressor pipe then?

Correct. Just cut the LICP to the correct length. Don't need to do anything to the race pipe.

I would keep the race pipe. It is larger than the IX J pipe

Mikey

 

Alright, I think you convinced me


-Bink

 

Good advice Mikey. I might even do that

 

Yeah, it seems like the way to go.


-Bink

 

Totally the way to go! No problem guys

Mikey

 

Thanks man!!

Ok -

I cut the intercooler pipe after getting a good measurement. I will post the measurements once I have a chance to go back out to the garage and add them to the first post - so people won't have to do what I did.
I spoke with my mechanic and he said he will put a roll bead in the pipe for free

I am also am in the process of painting my valve cover - so far so good. I glass beaded it yesterday and primed it today.

I drilled a hole and welded in a SS bung into my downpipe for my wideband.

I took off my Megan exhaust manifold and it was cracked in about 15 different spots, so I ordered a ported and polished stock exhaust manifold from MAP.

Slowly but surely I'm getting there. I am making a list of everything I've learned and everything I had to go through to get this build done so people get an idea of how much work it takes to do this job done right

Are you having the bolt holes for the shield shaved off the manifold also?

 

Hey man, I didn't know that was an option? Is that a just for looks mod?


-Bink

 

Yea when mine cracks thats what I'm going to do. I think it looks better. If you are going to use the heat shield then leave them alone. I think you might have to do it yourself though.

 

Ah, so your using a Megan exhaust manifold as well?

Yeah - If I was going to do it, I would have to do it myself, as I already ordered it from MAP.

Glass beading is a great way to get abrasive into your motor, and it's almost impossible to get out of a valve cover...
