GEE-OTTO Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Those new ones have a CAT built in? Looks like it but i dont see an O2 The new one is essentially a RalliSport inspired UEL. Universal to all EJ253's between 06-09 makes more sense too b/c he doesn't have to worry about the rest of the exhaust just the header which has shared common sensors and geometry. I think it will pan out very well for Inferno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxymomo Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hey GEE, so I finally got all my stuff ordered after you and I had spoke months ago. I dealt with Steven at inferno and I got a kit from his last batch before he implements his new design. The kit will be here Saturday, and i have an Invidia Q300 sitting in my living room waiting to get installed with it. I'll report back next week with results and pictures after I can get some miles on it. I could make some videos too if theres enough interest.

bomberlegacy Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 That sounds meaner than mine I LOVE how it sounds, except how raspy it gets when I open up the throttle. I have a 12" vibrant resonator, I may try and install a much longer resonator to try and smooth it out.

foxymomo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That's any NA 4cyl with too much exhaust. Raspy. Ain't that the truth. I found that out the hard way today. Inferno UEL kit and an Invidia q300 completely crashed and burned today. The rasp was absolutely unbearable. Any amount of throttle at all just screamed rasp. It's a pity. I'm working on getting my stock catback mounted to the inferno kit and then going from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaztschida Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So i should be picking up a set of these in the next couple months if all goes to plan. Any paint recommendations? I live in Minnesota so i will need some pretty good stuff. My step dad has a little paint studio in his garage so i can have them done semi professionally" versus a can of spray paint unless thats the best option.. cant afford anything too crazy or id get ceramic coat obviously.

VHT whole system has been great for me Get the VHT FlameProof Primer, Paint and Clear Coat. I merely cleaned the header with brake cleaner, let it dry wiped it clean and applied 3 coats of primer (10 mins btwn coats) then let the final coat dry over night (you could prob wait 2-3 hours instead) then laid on 3 coats of paint (let each coat dry to touch) then finished it with the clear/sealant. I let that dry about 6 hours then bolted it on my car and let it idle for 20 minutes. It will smoke heavy for the first 5-10 min then lightly as the paint bakes to cure. Went out for a drive on the interstate set the cruise to 60 and drove for 15 miles to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59ctd Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So i should be picking up a set of these in the next couple months if all goes to plan. Are you replacing the rear pipe (just in front of the y-pipe) as well or just the header/cat? Reason I ask is I have been looking for a replacement stock rear pipe to replace the one the prior owner kinda hacked up installing a glasspack and that leaks and sounds horrible. I am in MN as well.

Chaztschida Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks GEE. I was looking at that stuff actually. Any idea how much ill need? Ill include a picture. Mine are not going to be the same ones you got.... 59ctd nope strictly just the header/cat for now its all one piece. Like $720 lol cant afford more piping. But im thinking about not switching out the stock piping and just getting my new mufflers later this year. Hoping the restrictions of stock pipes cuts down on rasp.

GEE-OTTO Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Oh youll need 1 can of: primer, paint, clear/sealant. I ordered a set of those too, to replace my older style I will be coating them with VHT FlameProof again as I opted for the mild steel I would use the whole can of primer and paint as it cant hurt to build up the coating but lay down 3 good coats of sealer. My three cans and a few sheets of 800 grit cost me $34 at Autozone Since you have some space to paint hang the header up that way you can get into all those tight spaces and you can set up a fan to speed drying between coats.

59ctd Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Going to put on the front midpipe tonight. Is the heat shield from the OEM pipe needed on the replacement pipe? The new cat has a small/short heat shield but it is tiny compared to the OEM which covers the cat completely and about 12" of pipe front and after of the cat converter. I pulled the manifold off and checked under the heat shields and found no cracks. I think the new gaskets and the two replacement midpipes should make this whole and quiet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Just the shielding around the cat is fine but if your existing shielding is intact you can install it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
