QWERTYTFC Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 i got a turbo back exhaust and had to remove the heat shield under the front seats at the mid pipe to get the mid pipe resonator in place to get the y pipe on and in the hangers. is removing the heat shield bad or anything... comments?

Max Capacity Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm kind of thinking about leaving mine out too. I have a stock mid pipe after a catless DP. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

QWERTYTFC Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 its a tight fit... rattles a bit too, get an exhaust without a resonator, also maybe w out the little braided flex part..... rattles when downshifting or mtn driving in a lower gear to avoid mad breaking.. any ideas on fixing that? heat wrap? think the resonator is hitting the drive shaft. pshhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 No flex piece in my exhaust. I doubt the resonator is hitting the drive shaft. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
