Am uploading the pictures on the server as I make this post. It doesnt look so bad, but the quality of the photos is not so good. Pictures will come shortly...
Pictures are finally loaded. I took some pictures of J's Racing products and also of the Exhaust fitted... The quality of the photos is not good (please adjust the brightness) and I dont know why. I will start posting the exhaust related photos first and eventually the others. Feel free to ask me for any information.
Anyway I went yesterday night to pick up the exhaust and carried it with the S. Imagine having a titanium pipe sticking out of the passenger's window. People were just lookin around wondering.
Here is J's Racing Dual Exhaust on the floor waiting for me to pick her up!
This is me in the following picture lifting with only my right hand the whole exhaust! I wasnt expecting to be so light. The weight reduction compared to the stock exhaust is amazing! As a previous owner of the Invidia Exhaust I can say that it was heavy compared to J's Racing. Please note that I hold the exhaust horizontal. (BTW I look slimmer in real life )
First bonus pictures!
Anyone looking for some J's headers? You can notice also the test pipe.
And a close-up shaked picture of the headers.
I have to admit that the diameter of the headers is wider than any others that I've seen so far.
So the instalation started by lifting the rear end of the S. Tools needed? Our OEM jack did the work. I first removed the four bolts from the lower rear arm. Then I unscrewed the three nuts of the OEM exhaust that holds it together with the cat. Once removed you just remove the rubber supports in which the exhaust hangs on the S.
Here are pictures of J's Racing Dual exhaust on top of the OEM exhaust just to compare the size! Amazing difference huh? Sorry the pictures suck BIG TIME! Increase the brightness.
The instalation was a piece of cake! I first fitted the left separate catback of the exhaust and then the right one all the way from the cat to the rear! The rest was very easy. Nuts and bolts were tightened and the instalation was completed!
I couldnt resist so I started the engine to hear the sound! First sound impressions? When the engine is idle you can hear a nice deep sound (similar, maybe slightly less than the Invidia). I, then rev it to 9000rpm's. It sounded like F1! (I think).
So I turned the engine off and tightened again the lower rear arms back in position and I lowered the S back to normal.
Now I bet you want to see more pictures and find out my first impression, but I think I will not post them yet to build up the suspense! However if you want any info dont hesitate to ask...
Time to post some pictures I guess. I got lots of PM's asking me about the looks of the exhaust on the AP1. So here they are. Sorry about the bad quality of the photos. I will take some better ones in the future for your reference guys. Feel free to post your comments!
Thanks guys... My guess is that the headers will give me some significant gains but I prefer to fit the J's Racing CAI next to give some fresh air to my S.
Here is a photo of the J's Racing CAI!
