I have a downpipe that NEEDS to be installed, any ideas?

I'm in Morris County...

I've found a few vendors that'll handle the ecu flashpro, but I want to get some hardware done first. Unless anyone knows of a custom tune shop?

im a fellow RDX owner and have to install my own dp id be happy to help you install yours when I get home from Afghanistan in march. the show will probably break something and then overcharge to fix there fuck up. I speak from experience. might be worth the wait although I know it would be difficult to see the parts just sit there for that long.
my price is a few six packs of beer.

LOL, if I only had time and tools, I would do it myself.
Wrench, I might take you up on the offer, let me know when you're back - I'm fine with waiting!

I am right across the border in NY. I will join that party if you are installing down pipes. I have done a lot of work on my car in the past, but it would be nice to tag team and do this together. Wrench, can you weld?

I have a 60 gallon air compressor a TIG welder, chop saw, and a 5inch metal lathe in my shop/ basement. I think we will be good to go.

Excellent. I need to weld new tips on this custom exhaust I bought. I am having trouble finding a good shop to do it. Not even sure how I should do it since I need to cut off the existing ones. What unit are you with in Afghanistan? Never got to go to that hell hole, but my time in Iraq was enough shit holes for a lifetime.

Wrench, when are you getting home? Trying to sort out my calendar/schedule.
I also purchased a TMIC from ETS, so would be doing that..

id get new spark plugs too while you have the intercooler off it makes sense that's what I will be doing anyway. why don't we plan for the first weekend in April?

Things might be getting a little warmer by then!

You should take some pictures of the install and post them as a DIY. I plan on doing my downpipe soon.

anyone still up for this?

Wrench I caved in, a shop was able to flash my car and do the install in one sitting, so I went for it.

its ok can you post your mods in the flashpro thread and a link to your tune. it will be a good start for those with the same setup. it will cut down on time and possibly money. for the next guy. I plan on doing this but I doubt anyone is going to have my list of mods any time soon...

shivaswrath

I just did the base map reflash because the FlashPro tool wasn't available for me at the time.

Wrench I may still be in. Let me know when you would plan on doing this and I will see if I can meet up with you. I do not think I am far from where you are. All I need now is to order the downpipe! ;-)
