My project

[Canadian Crimson]

So I bought my quickjacks to make life easier. So far so good. Doing long tube headers and a full 3" AWE catback on the "vert. Brought it out of storage today, set it up on the quick jacks lots of room for my fat arse even with a creeper. Roughly 5 hours in battery box and intake are out,and the passenger side factory exhaust is on the ground. Gave up for tonight but tomorrow is another day.

It should not be too bad . There are more than a few bit of this set up sounds really deep and barky. But when you step on the skinny pedal …….

Day 2 in the books. about 14 is hours so far. Passenger side is a biatch learned a few new cuss words there. Driver side was better. Glad I took the battery compartment out as well as the cowl brace makes the back bolts on the passenger side much easier. The worst part was the top bolt on the starter and the top two nuts putting the motor mounts back in. Short swing ratchet wrenches help a whole lot. So todays update is the headers are installed just need to re wire the starter and put the top back together, swap the O2 sensors. The get creative on the exhaust.

Day 3 was a short day , just a couple hours puttering around. Had to extend one of the O2 sensor harnesses but the other 3 were fine. Top end is all back together. Cats are on and connected. No extra bolts or nuts left so that’s a bonus. Fired her up to move it so I could change the wife’s oil and it sounds good with no exhaust lol. Next week’s project is to get the new exhaust on and change all the oils .

Those quick-jacks would be really handy.

Those quick-jacks would be really handy.

I would say they are the best money I have spent . It’s really surprising how much sturdier than jackstands they are. And so much quicker than a normal jack.

Great investment

So here are a few pictures so far headers are done, full 3” AWE touring Catback is installed. Just have to reposition things so I can see how much clearance I need for the chassis braces. Gotta say first cold start sounds pretty good!!

I am in Quebec pretty well every week lol. It might sound loud in the video but that was the first cold start . It will dull down a little with some miles.

Sounds great.
Don’t expect it to “dull down” too much.
You have what you have.
Cold starts will always be cold starts.

Don’t need to tune for long tube headers. But if you are looking for someone local BLP automotive I’m Moncton does tuning locally.

And another couple hours in the garage and she is officially done and ready for summer. Getting the 3” exhaust on there was not too bad actually. If you zoom in on the picture you can see I just stacked washers to make up the needed room. And yes I used longer bolts as well!

Idea was good but would Think would have been better if you have went to machine shop and had them make you plates for the size of the frame would have better contact between the 2 might be wrong but Think would have put less stress where the washers are
