My Invidia TP came today and observing it after opening the box i noticed theres like a grease like film covered inside it with some leftover shavings, is that normal or should i wipe/clean it out good before throwing it on tomorrow?

 

The grease will probably burn off, but it wouldn't hurt to wipe it down/clean it before installing it. It was probably leftover from manufacturing.

 

return it and buy a berks HFC ...poison is not worth 1hp ...plus they stink like ass ..why ppl do a test pipe over a hfc is beyond crazy ...1hp difference worth poisoning the air ....ppl and their test pipes

 

+1


why you ask? because test pipes are a lot cheaper than cats or hfcs. the power difference is negligible but the difference in sound is noticeable, for an hks dual exhaust anyways.

the smell you are referring to is just unburned fuel, which i dont think smells that bad. if you really care about the environment, sell your s2k and buy an electric car or take the bus.


OP : i see you will be installing it with an hks dual, you are going to love the sound =) im running the same setup.

 

lol this has to be a joke

 

Clean it and install it! Miss my HKS dual w/test pipe so much. You'll truely love the sound like said above

 

I never cleaned mine. it's just going to smell like burnt plastic for 3-4 days that lets people around you know that you just got a new exhaust

 

I installed it yesterday with the HKS single and let my tell you its LOUD! now my cel came in tonight, I guess I need a defouler now, and I nought the to with the cel fix supposedly

 

^ I have an Invidia Test Pipe (not installed curretnly) but when it was installed i got the CEL also on my '05 I ended up doing the fouler trick and i had no issues after that.

 

Ya i'll have to grab one tomorrow and throw it on
