So I finally picked up my downpipe yesterday after staring at the huge new showroom (compared to the old location, it's really HUGE) at their new location. Let me tell you... If you haven't been there yet... Do it. Evo IX SE's all over the place since they're right next to San Rafael Mitsu now.

Went home to install the downpipe, and didn't realize that the bolts were the wrong thread (d'oh!) Metal shavings all over the place.
Called up WORKS and Jamie met me after work to give me the proper bolts and told me that the stock o2 housing shouldn't strip, it should be just the bolt itself that lost the threads. Shined a flashlight up there this morning and he was right. I ran a tap through it to clear out any metal shavings just incase. After calling Jamie to clear up some questions, I had the downpipe up in about 30 minutes. Fired it up and all was good.

So, HUGE thanks to Jamie for that. I don't know of anybody else who would have done that. WORKS always get a thumbs up from me.

 

Rich,
Sorry again about the whole mishap, but I'm glad you're taken care of now. Let us know if you need anything else and I'll be happy to meet up with you again if it'll save you the trip

 

It's all good, man. I'll be calling soon to setup a time to get the clutch line installed since I don't have the bleeder for the ACD.

 

I am not surprised by this story. I would love to live near Works, however, I would also be broke.

 

i am it's all good though. haha.

 

What size DP did you get?

 

I'm running the 76mm downpipe, 76mm high flow cat, 76mm intermediate pipe, and the exhale ABM which is 76mm and a 117mm tip which I believe is 4" approximately.

I can take a video of it for you guys if you want.

 

Sure, that would be great!

 

Ok, I'll have some up tomorrow sometime. It's dark out and raining... don't feel like getting my camera wet.

 

Running same exact setup

 

Bleeding the ACD is not part of the clutch line install. However you will have to bleed the clutch hydralic system and the installation of the line is a little tricky... so let us know.

 

Hey what's up, Tyler? I finally got around to tucking up those wires under the dash since I've been home... Only took me 3 weeks to get around to it.

I think Oliver said it needed to be bled. Either way, I'll be up there.
