Hotpipe is a bish

[Omar MSP]

man, i just installed my su hardpipe. the stock pipe is such a bish to get off! omg, 1 hour of pulling and yanking. but it was a 10min install for the new one lol.

ah, fun project though. my dad was kind enough to help me yank lol.

Hair dryer and a fattie while I waited for it to heat up

hey guys, how bad is the cold pipe to get off?

I noticed a louder spool at low boost. Very low boost. Like I'm jus starting to accelerate and I can hear the spool way louder then before. I'm happy.

And for the hotpipe, I was on my way to work and I punched it for a second, my bpv did a nice whoose "no turkey" and then it stalled. Lol. The hotpipe at the turbo came off. Luckly I had my tools and I just adjusted the bottom clamp lower into the silicone, as of now its ok no problems. But I got the turkey back lol.

just get a heat gun, or even a hair dryer, and that will help if you have problems with getting the pipe off though. I do know a friend who had a hell of a time getting his SU coldpipe ON, though.... the fitment was not real great.

it's safer to over tighten a little. i've never had any pipes blow off before. on the stock plastic pipes, i wouldn't tighten too much cuz the plastic can crack. but on the silicone couplers and aluminum pipes, you can tighten till your hands hurt.
