ATLP UA5 Exhausts!!!
I got a text from my friend/roommate that my exhausts came in while I was in San Jose... and rushed back... girlfriend irritated.













Thanks Mike, Josh, and everyone involved in the project! and my girlfriend for putting up with me <3

Hopefully I install these sometime this coming week!

i wasnt a part of that that sh'bang..

but you gotta give those guys a break.
when you get a group buy going for something that cost 1 k

yea your gonna have flakes.. but when you have 5 guys sending in the dough a week later... you losing half of your business b/c those others who were truly interested might have needed another month or two to pull together the money.

so yea, flakes blow nuts... but im thinking alot of people would have sent this guy 1k for this exhaust and it was just rushed.. too bad, i may have been swayed eventually

actually mike started accepting nonrefundable deposits of 200 USD starting early november last year... the 1k payment was due this past week when he was going to ship the exhausts out... so everyone had a good 5 months to scrap up 1k...

and there were 15 spots available... 10 spots were still available when production started in late march this year, so time and quantity was not an issue. people were just taken back by the price... which they should've expected especially cuz the 3g atlp quad exhausts costed like 1100+ USD... and that these are custom made...

so in the end everyone had a break... of 4-5 months to make the decision.

aiight aiight, ill probably do that tomorrow. today im gonna focus on running to stores to buy tools... jacks... stands... sockets... then gogo install. fackin' hate being at school...

did you get 3 gaskets too? im guessing they go between the b-pipe and y-pipe (1), y-pipe and mufflers (2), and reuse the oem gasket between the cat and b-pipe... if there is one there? and same thing with the 6 bolts... reusing the oem for cat to b-pipe.

omfg 2 more classes today FML... then ill get on this shit xD

haha i should do a similar vid to the atlp ua6/ua7 base exhaust install sound comparison vid lol... time lapse :P but with one guy T_T

um... one for mid pipes.. 2 for mufflers...

supplied bolts for axles... and reuse stock to connect b-pipe to cat...

i'd suggest you get another person to help to hold up the mufflers while you HAND tighten the nut/bolt first..

install tip, make sure you align the flanges... ALIGN THE FLANGES!!! or else it'll be slightly crooked...

everything must be aligned as much as possible to two people would really be good.

you should probably seafoam first
no reason to get your shiny new exhaust unnecessarily dirty.

EPIC FAIL. The nuts are rusted onto the bolts... and I'm scared of shredding up the nut...

WD-40 Didn't work, it's stubborn as a mule... maybe I'll get it loosened at midas or some shop...
