test pipe
well today my ecode test pipe came. Install is a BIATCH. since my cat broke off from the turbo i decided to upgrade. Any how to keep a long story short i finally got the cat off my cutting the bolts with a torch. Now getting it on i have a problem i stil cant figure out. How to tighten down the bolts connecting to the downpipe. i cant seem to tighten down the bolt thats right at the curve area (bottom bolt). Right now i got 2 bolts tight and the 3rd one is on but not tight. I NEED HELP!! so far the car sounds sick, i'll post up some pic n vids too, hp gains can be felt, now i can actually glue me to the seat a lil haha. and with the cat back borla it sounds crazy.

RE: test pipe
did you try above the driveaxle in the wheel well. Im sure you did, but if not give that a try.

RE: test pipe
I'm glad I saved a pic of that damn thing. This is the way I got it on and off. Look very closely at how the universal joint is positioned. It took a good amount of time turning that thing 1/8 of a turn at a time, but it'll get the job done.

I used to the think the testpipe install was hard aswell. After a stage 3 install, there a breeze.

RE: test pipe
First make sure everything is outa the way,even 02s sensors if u need to.. Take a 3/8 drive and throw on 2 extensions,a 3/8 swivel, and 13mm socket. Have a buddy hold the back of the nut if it spins with a open box end wrench from the bottom of the car. If you u dont have anyone to help yuu, vice grip it.
