Default Invidia Test Pipe

I had no idea that something that looks so easy could be so frustrating. Anyway, that suckers on and sounds good. It's been raining all day here so I have to wait to put it on the road.

Those damn mounting bolts with the springs that connected to the exaust manifold.
i had the cat off in less than 30 minutes. The remaining 4 hours was trying to put those bolts back in. The fit is fine. Invidia does good work.
Now, I have plan on putting the cat back on in April for the emmisions inspection.
Stay tuned boys and girls.

Yea, I forgot the tricky part of SQUEEZING those springs together so that the threads could be out far enough to get the bolts on. I can get my cat on and off now in less than 10 minutes and it took me about an hour to get the TP on until I remembered the spring trick. Youll like your test pipe!

Please share your secret about the springs. How do you compress them?
