JiC exhaust installed

[DiS]

1st I wanna thanks promp3 for giving such a great deal on the exhaust. Thanks man!

Well, on monday afternoon around 6pm I got my exhaust in mail. promp3 wasn't kidding when he said to me over the phone "good luck unwrapping it" (rofl). So after I signed off for it and bs'ed with ups guy for another 5 minutes, I quickly shoved the exhaust into my car and took off to BBSF2 aka Craig's house to install it. Mind you, this is 2 piece exhaust. JiC 2.5'' catback with a custom 2.75'' B-pipe.

Stupid spring-loaded studs/nuts! It took us about 3 and 1/2 hours to get the stock exhaust off and about 30 minutes to put the new one on.

Took me and Craig like 5-10 minutes just to unpack this bad boy. Well here are LOTS of pics!

took me about 5 minutes to shove this thing through the trunk and through the passenger front window.....I should of removed my trunk reinfrorcement bar, rofl

Craig unpacks the axle-back

speaking of well packaged exhaust, hehe

Nottice weight reduction LOL! JiC axleback -vs- mp3 axleback

WTF are the boards for!??!!? Oh yea so my car wont sink into the pavent along with the jack stands, rofl

OMG WTF 4x4!

Craig's bloody knuckle -vs- spring-loaded bolts

one down one to go?!?!?!?

The broken off stud was the easy part....unlike the stripped nut

ARRRRGGGGG!!!! STOCKER IS OUT FINALLY!!!

[sandspeed]

nice man .... i wanted the JIC when it came out a while back. It looks really great and I'll bet it sounds just as good as it looks.

 

[Jliao]

JIC is by far the best sounding exhaust system out there for Protege (not sure about other brand).

 

[lasermp5]

w00t! looks excellent!

 

[RaiderMS3]

nice....

sound clip...now...

 

[DeanSweet]

I see it is fixed now...

 

[kudakev615]

thats per-dy!

 

[BBSF2]

yeah, if you want the mp3 exhaust, its yours, im just holding it for dennis now. i was gonna use it, but i decided not to. Talk to dennis, and we will go from there! That one bolt on the exhaust was the biggest pain in the ass ever. its always the last bolt that gives you the most problems. oh well, exhaust sounds really good and there are no exaust leaks, so im happy!

[Titanium-99]
