simple exhaust install...dear me
#16
nah can't...still in warranty and i've got to take it back to the dealership to get some work done...new brembo calipers, paint, etc (all free under warranty )
i took it to muffler man and i watched him take an impact gun to it...bolts popped right off and he only had it on 3 haha. he didn't charge me but i gave him a $20 because he was cool (he liked my car haha)
the o2 sensor itself IS still on the cat. this exhaust (hks carbon-ti) is designed for the evo viii but it fits fine on the ix too. all i did was take an oil pan plug (M18x1.5 bolt) and sealed off the o2 bung on the midpipe. if you decide you want a test pipe, chances are there wont an o2 bung on the test pipe so you gotta use the one on the midpipe
btw as of 11am this morning, my whole sound system is turned off...i'm listening to 105.hks....best music ever

yea let me clarify that that is not my car in that picture...i just pulled that pic from some person's install guide. that car in the picture is an evo viii (hence the 02 sensor in the midpipe). if you'd like, i can take a pic of my midpipe/cat but my secondary o2 sensor is on the cat

i soaked the same spot in wd, used a air gun on it and still didnt work.
i eventually unbolted the cat and removed the 02 from the harness and slid the whole system off from under the car then used a breaker bar and rubber mallet, gave better leverage and made me mad i waisted 30 mins trying to do a 5 minute job.
