Hey ive never installed a downpipe before. It looks pretty simple. Do i have to remove anything before i can reach the stock downpipe to remove it. Or can i just get to the bolts right off the bat and remove it? Are there any tips anyone can give me? Also im pretty sure ill have to have the car raised off the ground as ill be installing a high flow cat as well. Any idea how much a car stand jack thingy will cost? I dun wanna use the regualr car jack as im sure ill make the car squash my face. And then i wouldnt be able to test out my new parts

Any advise would be greatly appretiated. Thanks guys!

 

Honestly....

Did you install the RMR or another dp??

 

I just got a Helix 3'' downpipe and a ultimate racing 3'' highflow cat. I wont be able to install them till friday, ill let u guys know how it goes.

 

I would suggest purchasing (at any Pep Boys, etc) a set of Rhino Ramps...lifts the car up enough (and VERY safely I might add) to do that type of work...good luck...

 

1 step ahead of u, already called and asked the price is about 18 bucks. Sounds good to me.

 

Helix DP gets two thumbs up.

hey i keep reading that i will need an extention. What extention are they talking about and exactly what is it called so i know what to get? Thanks. Im doing this tomorrow afternoon.

Also the UR highflow cat didnt come with any gaskets. Is it possible my RMR 3'' catback came with one and its currently on my stock cat? I cant remember and i see my car till tomorrow.

 

Socket extension. You'll need one to reach the bolts on the O2 housing right below the turbo.

 

u think one of those screwdriver sockets would work?

like its a screwdriver with itnerchangable parts so u can fit a socket on the end.

 

Not likely. You need something you can get more torque with, like a socket ratchet, since the exhaust bolts will be quite tight.

 

ok ill go to home depot and pick up a 1 foot extention. When im tightening the bolts, should i tighten them as much as i can?

 

The spring loaded bolts that go on the O2 housing have end stops at the thread. Just tighten them till it stops but don't over tighten them once they stop.

 

I did the install. I didnt see any doughnut gasket or anything. I dunno what a doughnut gasket is, but i didnt see any kind of gasket when i took the dp off. Am i missing somehting? Everythign seems to be fine though.
