Audi valve stem caps-- much faster (not). Cabin air filter (apparently P/O did that in the course of maintenance, found Audi filter in there with manufacture date of 6/6/06!).

Hopefully getting to some fluids filters later today. Still on a slow ramp-up....

OK..did LOF...still haven't broken anything, I don't think. THe exhaust on this '02 is decent- still small diameter pipe, but a nice crossover. Still eyeing that middle muffler..

yeah, i've been busy. i've disassembled the front brakes, control arms, steering linkage, and cv shafts. i removed the exhaust from the midpipe back and am in the process of welding up my engine sling so that i can pull the transmission out. i'm also going to be removing the driver's side hub bearing because it's toast. so hopefully by the end of today, the upper exhaust will be off and the transmission will be sitting on the floor before it's off to the shop to get the front dif rebuilt.

Hey-- would appreciate it if you could take some pics during the install and post them up! I'm thinking along similar lines (Crossover pipe and muffler R&R).ANyoneknow the stock pipe diameter for 4.2?Just 2"?
i think that's about right, it's frickin tiny.....okay, yeah, they're a 2" diameter, i just calculated it from one of the pictures that i just took the other day.

Exhaust is on. A little louder than I expected at full throttle but almost silent at idle. Most importantly it actually makes power.

Maybe thats just the state of exhaust tech now- freer flowing nets more noise under load and the extent of dampening is mainly at idle. I want a louder idle, and soft when cruising, probably not really feasible. With my 4.2L I'm not really anticipating power gains- free flow does wonders for turbos. Mustang- kudos for getting waayy in there. Good time to get piggies in lieu of the cats?
snowtiger- still hoping for pics, wav files.
