Hey fellas

I took in my car to get my mid-pipe put in this morning. I dropped off my car to get lowered as well. When I went to go pick it up they said they couldn't do the mid-pipe installation because they couldn't get my 02 sensor off. I was aware of the special socket but I thought they would have it at the shop.

Than they said that you can't use the megan y-pipe w/ the HKS catback because it doesn't reach all the way. They said that I can fit the mid-pipes fine but I will need to use the HKS Y-pipe.

Does this sound right? I tried searching. I looked at socal disel's installation w/ HKS and it seems like on his y-pipe he welded some more piping to make it longer..

A little help from the guru's would be nice.

Thanks

 

Sounds like you need to find a better shop. There should be no issues with fitment and if they can't get the O2 sensors out then that says a lot about them. All of us Joe Blows have no problem getting them out, so why would they!? Take your money elsewhere man.

 

 

g/l and keep us posted...by the way whats the name of the shop so that we wont go there.

 

yeah...a shop like that....just find another place =)

 

well thanks for the help guys

it's actually a very good shop. but they mainly do superchargers and such. they lowered my car perfectly, no issues whatsoever and when i asked if they could install the mid-pipe they said no problem. Anyways I'll take the pipe where it needs to be installed and that's at a muffler shop

 

yeah it should be a simple bolt on for the hks too. Let me know if it gets any louder after you install the mid pipe.

 

hm...I hope it's not too difficult to install it..=/
I'm gonna do it this coming Monday..

 

just make sure you have the right tools to the remove the O2 sensors...other than that it's clear sailing...enjoy it

 

Shop #2. Installed the mid-pipe..150 bucks. Put everything on but had to use the HKS Y-pipe w/ the megan racing mid-pipes. The megan racing y-pipe was too short according to this guy just like the first shop I took it to said.

He said everything fits good other than that.

Sound, its not much louder than the HKS but it does sound more throaty. I will post a video soon.

 

glad to hear everything worked out

 

nice! i like throaty =D
