Big thanks to my friend Tome a forum member for his use of his lift. He also helped me or I helped him on the install.<br/>I also a big shout out to Josh at MerakiAutoworks for a good price.<br/>






PS let the pipes cool down all the way. OUCH!!!

Thats great. I did the same a couple months back, but went with Corsa. Also used a buddy's lift (Corvette friends are the best). Sorry about your burn, that's bad. The good news is that will heal quickly, but the grin on your face between 2k-6,500 RPM will be permanent. Xpipe+NPP=music to a car guy's ears.

Your right on two counts, corvette friends are the best and my grin kept getting wider the faster I went. Working with a lift is great. I couldn't have done it on the floor I am to old for that. The burn is not that bad looks worst in the pic.

I should've warned you those pipes are hot.

Glad you liked the system. Let me know when its time for another part.
