Jorge, Do you remember how to install PCD's? I'm thinking of picking some up, but the rear pre-cat is kind of making me stay away from purchasing.

The front one is easy. Drop your plastic engine belly cover. Drop your J-pipe and the front one is easy. The rear one you are going to have to drop the front right control arm so your CB joint drops out of the way to remove the rear cat. After that the install is easy. You will need an O2 sensor wrench to remove the O2 sensors. Joe brought his when I did mine.

Do you have the PCD's. I think when the snow is gone you can come out here and we can do it. Maybe set up a MOD & MEET deal. Some grilling.

Not yet. I just ordered them right now. Maybe we can do a meet before B4B and get these bad boys on! I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I'd be forever great full.

The wife is going to hate me with all the parts I've been ordering

Yep I am. I have an ATLP v2 jpipe waiting to be installed as well. The ATLP jpipe will get rid of any rasp I have right now with the rv6 v3 jpipe.

How sure are you of this. Each engine has different harmonics. Do they guarantee you will not have any Rasp.

Not very sure. I'm just saying with my ATLP exhaust, RV6 V3 jpipe and stock precast I do have rasp. By switching to the ATLP V2 jpipe I can guarantee I won't have rasp. I'm not saying with the PCDs I won't have any rasp, I am expecting a little though.

Here's the video with the ATLP exhaust/jpipe and rv6 pcds

With my car I put the exhaust then did the J-Pipe for a while to see how it sounded and then I put the PCDs.

Anyone Interested in going to the AUTO Show MN

It could be set up as a meet, get some food, drinks, half naked models and see whats new. Maybe hit up a strip club after that...
The hours are in link below.
Let me know and maybe we could set something up that works for us.

Are we going to reserve spots this time at B4B? I believe only a few people were in the actual lot at the show.

I returned by PCD's and decided to go with the HFPC instead, I just need to get those installed and my Type-S lip spoiler and my taillights back from AcK and I should be ready for summer.

Installed my HFPC tonight! Never again will I do those! What a PITA. They do sound good though.

I'm sorry to hear that Jorge. I wish you and your family the best.
