Default Finally got my x-pipe on today..
After putting around with doing it myself, Greg at RET offered me a great deal so I decided to take it to him. I'm so glad I did. What should have been a half hour install turned into a 2 hour marathon.

First, it turned out that one of my front 02 sensors was partly broken, and the other had been cross-threaded so bad it was unusable. Greg called his parts guy and I had new 02 sensors within a half an hour. The next hurdle was the gasket that is supposed to be reusable was broken into two pieces. At this point Greg was kind enough to call the local Ford dealer and then let me borrow his truck to go pick up the part. After getting the new gasket, Frankie put everything back together and the job was finally finished.

I can only imagine how bad it would have been trying to do this in Adam's driveway tomorrow

Thanks again to everyone at RET - you guys are the best!!

Yeah, they usually pick up between 7-12rwhp with a midpipe from what I hear. Are you bringing your Vette to the dyno day? I'd love to see that

Love what, seeing me blow pieces of drivetrain all over the ground. I'd bet you'd like that.

Is the motor still not running right? For some reason I thought you had it fixed. If it's fixed a couple dyno runs shouldn't hurt too much, right

It still has the vibration in it. It's either not balanced right or I have a drive line problem. Either way no Dyno run.

Anyway, you know Chevies don't make any power.

Hell ya Sean!!!

Ya dude, when I put my X-pipe on, it was a fucking nightmare as well. I basically had the same problems with the O2 sensors, I think I mentioned that to you.

Can't wait to hear it.

There will be cameras.

I'd like to see it . . . again and again.
