Just finished my exhaust and brakes!

[cpu77]

Well guys I just installed some V6 rear brakes on my car (I got the carriers for $60), So it was a cheap deal. Since I needed new back brakes. What a chore that turned out to be! Those dam allen head bolts on the lower carrier! I should have read a DIY'r! I ended up stripping them! Sooo I unbolted the suspension and had to weld a socket to the allen head so I could get them off! I did replace the allen bolts with stainless bolts though!

Now my exhaust was a used Neuspeed with a Raceworks Test Pipe. That install was much easier. The biggest issue there is (and still needs attention) that the down pipe sits to close to the underbody and bumps it when turning the wheel hard in reverse. Always something. The sound is ok. My wife likes the turbo spool sound (It's her car).

One last issue is I have a boost leak I think. Car is a APR stage 1+ and only peaking and holding 10-11psi! I did disconect the battery when I welded those bolts does something need done with the tuning? I am thinking something is leaking where the airbox gets removed. Any ideas?

Thanks again for all the help!

Ok.. for some reason I though it was larger than that.. nice work and those carrier bolts suck, I stripped one as well.

yes, those rear allen heads suck balls.. one came out fairly easy with a allen key but the other it wouldnt turn far enough to get the allen key back on it. i had to use an allen socket with a 1/4 wrench to turn it.. worked quite well
