everything went good except i had to take off i think there called sway bars or sub frame bars? well after installing the exhaust and i went to put them back on i realized that one went back on with no problem but the other one did not fit because the exhaust is to big so i had to put like five washers on the bolt so it can clean the exhaust is that ok? is this common with aftermarket exhaust has anyone else had this problem and what did you do.....exhaust and intake sound good just waiting for the licp to arrive so i can install that before my tune but i have to say i only feel a little bit of a power increase i hope after the tune she really come alive

oh sry these bars are located right under the down pipe. and i also wanted to say that i feel like i lost some low end power it feels a little sluggish from a start will i have a better low end after the tune? thanks again guys

 

That will work, but it's a little ghetto. I bought the RMR cross brace which is specifically designed to accommodate larger downpipes. It works perfectly on my 3" Megan. Here's a pic:

 

had to do the same with the Helix downpipe, aboud 5 washers.

 

oh $h*t thanks 72tornado i will be buying this!

 

i had no problem wid mine...

 

can someone tell me if the lag/spool up and low end off the line power will get better after tune? cause its a little weak right now the car has very slow spool up it has more lag than stock i was thinking its because of the intake without tune?

 

I have the same RMR bar.. works great..
clears my DP just fine..

 

Firstly, you shouldn't have gotten an aftermarket intake without a tune. Secondly, a TBE should have the exact opposite effects - even before mine was tuned, I noticed a huge improvement in spool-up and power.

Yes, those issue should be resolved after the tune.

 

bump for my question

 

The RMR is a great unit, I got one on my Cobb TBE. Works great!

 

sry didnt see your post before i wrote, i am getting my tune on friday just wanted to put everything on early. ok my be it might be in my head but i dont think so or it could just be the intake w/o tune? will i get better low end power after tune? thanks for helping.

maybe you guys can answer this here i know i should open up a new thead for this question but i dont feel like it.

after i get tune its probably going to be for 93 oct since i live in NY but say i drive out of state and can only get 91 oct will i be ok?

 

no, you would need to lower your boost.

I installed my Perrin dp about 2 weeks ago and didn't need any spacers.... bars fit fine.

 

+1 I have an 3" DP too and had no problem.
