    Hardpipes how to?

    You didn't look hard enough then, we have search for a reason. You're not the only person coming in here demanding to see photos of everyone's DIY kits. How do you think they finally found their photos??

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    http://www.bicperformance.com/products.htm Check out that link and look at the bottom of the page for two different types of test pipes. If I had to do it over again, I would have opted for the race test pipe, that would have been interesting ;) I wouldn't upgrade the BOV until you do the...

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    An exhaust shop can probably do this for you if you're friends with someone who works there. Most of the exhaust shops don't want to touch a car that doesn't have a cat, that's why I'm saying it like this. Otherwise, BIC (a vendor on here) should sell a testpipe, you may also find cheaper...

    Since you've already decided on a quiet cat back, I'd keep with the theme and have the recirculated DDP, but it's your money, your car, your choice.

    Stop driving the car right now. Plan on pulling it apart and inspecting it closely to find out exactly what's wrong.

    There's not going to be much a difference to fuss over. I'll take the loss of ~5HP over the noise the open DDP makes. BTW, if you're in boost, and not just full boost, it will still be noisy

    935 Motorsports is a vendor on here as well, his DDP will net you the same result with less of a hit to your wallet.

    Gapping Iridiums aren't that hard, just take your time and be careful, you use the same principles gapping all other types. BTW to the OP, the Recirculated Divorced Down Pipe I mentioned already has an integrated turbo elbow built in, it's a one piece replacement for your two piece DP ;).

    Just how fast is it??

    I think the only way you'd have lag on a CT26 is if the exhaust studs are all backing out and leaking like shit under the hood. :nono:

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    I'll put in my two cents on some points as well: 1.)Coming from personal experience, a 3" exhaust seemed to add power all across the board on my car. I did not notice a drop in power ANYWHERE. 2.)The MKIII is not OBDII, so no worries about the cat being removed. Just make sure you don't get...

    450HP 7MGTE SP61GT Build - Need suggestions!

    Eh, I'd hold off on that MHG until you find out how much material has been removed from the block and head if you're aiming for close to the same compression ratio as the motor was intended to have.

    So what are you going as for Halloween?

    There's trucks that drive around here with a set of steel, saggy nuts that dangle from the reese hitch. Those would work, but that'd be too heavy. Ever seen an episode of Jackass where one of the guys runs around dressed as an old man with fake nuts danlging out from the side of their...
