i just used a breaker bar when I installed my Comptech exhaust in my garage and it wasn't too bad!

I left it in Toronto by accident though I'll have to pick one up here. Princess Auto!

Wish I'd known about the t1rs at Speedtech, but I suspect they cost a lot more than the $125 US I paid, shipped from Berk.

You don't even need an o2 sim for the berk. you just plug in your stock o2 sensor and you're good to go... it just moves it out of the path of the air a little bit, thus the readings stay consistent with what the ecu wants to see.
well i wouldnt even say the o2 sim is anything crazy to install ... its just a metal tube that just goes in between... so like a 30 second install

Yeah I didn't have anything fancy tho... got those bolts off with good 'ol muscle power
Ah, you're a better man than me! I gave up too soon, but I guess that's the luxury of power tools.

Actually, half the pain is working on the car in a garage, lying on your back. If I had access to a hoist, then I would have probably done it with a breaker bar.

lets everybody chip in on a shared lift. Anybody willing to donate their garage?

I didn't have tooo much trouble doing the exhaust on my back in my garage in Toronto, I actually found the hardest bolts to be the ones that hold that cross-member to the frame around the rear axle. I dunno HOW long I spent working on those to get them off, they never seemed to loosen till they came out of the holes completely.

I better get the out of province inspection done, maybe tomorrow, so I don't have to hold off when the TP arrives.

Can anyone recommend a shop to get that done at? I don't think there's anything wrong with my car, aside from the chips in the windshield which BETTER not prevent me from getting a pass! Every other windshield here has a big cracks through it, mine are just little chips, the worst is a dime sized circle with a hole in the middle through the outer plate only.

Wow, $125 isn't bad. Tunerworks told me like $225 for a T1R testpipe!

I just did a deal on the For Sale Forums for a second hand Berk testpipe for US$75. Should be coming together with a set of Konis and Ground Controls too...

Wow that's good to know. For the price and convenience and supporting a local dealer I would've bought the T1R. I didn't wanna keep askin 8000 questions of you guys about where to buy things here, but next time I will now.

I hear nothing but good things about the quality of Berk, but T1R is no slouch in performance either.
