Default How Difficult

Im ordering a TP soon, and i was wondering how hard is it to difficult is it to install?

and also, do i NEED to get it tuned, or will the ecu just adjust to it right away?

TIA

soak the nuts (hehehehe) on the cat over night, it will cost you less grief in the morning when you are going to install the TP

if you've never done anything to your car, i hope you know that a test pipe will make your exhaust smell bad.

a berk high flow cat is a better option and it's better for the enviroment.

PB Blaster FTW!


Just be careful when you spray it ... because spraying it onto a hot cat may cause it to ignite


definitely do this with a friend if possible ... working with a friend is better

I installed the Berk test-pipe along with a Fujitsubo exhaust. I have never had a cel (check engine light). Originally, I thought that it was going to smell bad but it doesn't.

FWIW: Mine was a 2005 so my nuts didn't need a soakin'

EDITED: Berk BT-1601 63.5mm test pipe with built-in O2 CEL fix.

Good Luck,
Thraak

What test pipe did you get? If it doesnt have a CEL fix built in you have to make one.
