I am tired, I am hungry, I am pissed off, and I am covered in grease (ew). Don't be surprised if my car is found in the bottom of a river somewhere tomorrow.


Wow tonight blew.
Sorry about your experience, yeah when I put on my HKS TBE and downpipe on my first Evo, it was a biaaaach! I hated the experience, such a pain in the ***. Should have gone to CRD to have it installed. The money saved by doing it yourself ain't worth the aggravation.

Hey guys, I have some bad news. You know that story that's been front page in the news about the cop shooting in Ft. Lauderdale and how the black community is raising a big stink about these so called poor defenseless boys. Well it turns out that these "model citizens" were the ones who car jacked "Sleet". Yes the same Sleet that's on here with the black Evo. He was in the back seat of his girlfriend's white Mitsubishi Endeavor parked at a shopping plaza on 441 and Holmberg Rd in Coconut Creek. To make a long story short, they basically pulled a gun on him and took the vehicle and you know the rest of the story from there.
Small world isn't it. I'm just glad he's ok, he said that he was in fear for his life.

Nope, that would be Ron! He also carries a number selector to find out who is next! (He is like the bakery at Publix! Just with no hair!)

As soon as one of the car jackers pulled a gun, he ran and got away.

I called Justin a few times during the process to ask him a bunch of questions like "why won't it fit?" and he couldn't understand how it didn't. He used the stock bolts somehow... I am hoping I can take it to a local shop today, maybe I'll call fynetune. Justin gave me a new installation kit with the exhaust, but it seems like it's missing stuff. Like there are no bolts and nuts to hold the pipes together (This being realized after we tried like hell to get the thing on) So we probably would have had to take it off anyway. I dunno, Im ready to resell this thing if it doesn't get on the car today. I just don't get it.

Amen. We had to ziptie that flange up at the end so we could use our other hand to push the damn pipe up as hard as we could.


So will it fit if I take it somewhere? Or is there no hope? Scott, Prvrt, any1, any ideas?

try longer bolts, diff gasket if the stock ones don't work. I say if it keeps giving u trouble try to talk to Ron my dp was a pain in the **** to install and he was pretty nice about the fee considering it took 3 hours or so

Almost a year ago I tried to install my TBE (after reading posts that said it was an easy job). Well, it didn't take me too long to realize how hard this whole process was, specially without the right tools and using only ramps. Next morning I drove to Midas and they did the full installation for $75 + tax. Some bolts and nuts were missing, but the guys at Midas had spares from their regular installation (and free of charge) so everything went really smooth. Now I'm looking for a good place to install my front and rear brake pads, any advise?
