And guess what!!!!!????? My lubes session have ended!! Yes, I don't know if that PB blaster thing is black magic or what, but I was curious and tried the mani nuts with a regular 3/8 rachet, and guess what? They were loose! SO the worst part is already done! WHATCHA THINK!!!???

Thaks man! Actually is not a tip is just the regular tail pipe. I was supposed to look for a nice tip but looking at it that way, I might just leave the euro style! LOL

Yeah, keep the euro look. I would polish the metal a lil to give it that shine and then cock it up at an angle like so:

Cannot go wrong!

lol, IT'S GOING IN TOMORROW.....

I was doing the "pre lube" thing recommended by Brian to losen the mani nuts.....I've been spraying PB blaster every day.....that thing is really magic....I had all the nuts lose in 2 applications.
AND, I am waiting for the intake/TB that is coming from Vancouver, I wanted to do all at once cause I'm gonna take the intake out for ease.
But if not coming today, I will have to put the same intake and wait....

what intake mani are you changing to?
i have a fox intake on mine so i could put the neuspeed throttle body on. they say the runners are longer/bigger on the fox mani but i couldn't tell a difference... maybe a MM or 2.

Well, I'm installing a ported intake with an A2 TB, which is the same NEUSPEED sells, bigger bore and butterflies....

Ok....here are some pics from today's installation.....took about 5 hours...very streight forward, no issues at all. Today's proyect included the ported intake with the A2 TB, the header and the cat-back....

Last night,cleaned the intake/TB Dean sent me, came yesterday just in time to go in today!...after a detailed clean and using this wonderful tool, it looked like this:

4 wheels in the air...and hands to work!

Some of the old stuff...

Intake and manifold removed...

Old and new intakes

Trying to make it...

Look at this sequence! ohh lord what a face.....I didn't think I had an "ugly side" LOL

OOooops! OUCH!

Header installed...

Installing the intake...

Intake installed...

And....well done Juan!

Note the piece added where the CAT used to be...

Resonator and intermediate pipe...

Eurosport!

Tail pipe...

First impressions:

The engine started right up! hesitated for a minute or 2 and then....smooth baby! I'm very satisfied, and happy with the results! My best way to describe it, it drives like a stock 16V!! maybe with even more response! Thanks to everybody for your help and specially to you Dino Boi!
That's all for now.....Dean will host some videos for me for u to enjoy....
