What have you done to your P5 today?

but it never tightend to it is the problem.

plus, one of the springs pops right over the head of the bolt.

Crappy spring bolts FTL! I'm tempted to pick up a midpipe and ship it to Chris for his MAM pipe

Sounds like you're doing it wrong. W/o pics, it's hard to tell.

I know how to put on spring bolts. lol

The springbolt kit came with two diffent size bolts, short and long

The shorter have a much wider head that prevents the springs from going over them

but the longer ones have a much smaller head, and one of the springs has a slightly larger ID so it pops over the head of the bolt.

I'll be bringing home some washers to use as a bigger head on the bolt and also use as a spacer so i can actually use the spring part. Cause the spring is fully compressed and the nut is fully all the way on teh bolt and it isn't all the way sealed up.

If the washers don't cure it, i may just say "F" it till i go get the second 02 bung welded in and have em fix the leak while it's up in the air, or just hold off till I get a new midpipe

ah, gotcha. Why not use the stock bolts? iirc that's what I did (though it's been so long since I installed the thing I could be totally making that up)

 

[mx-p5]

Stock bolts wouldn't reach. I tried. At least not without having a second set of hands and more than a socket set and a cresent wrench

Did the install myself

looks better than yours...

To each their own but to me an unpainted body part that should be painted is rice and does not look good at all. I'm sure plenty more will agree with me..

 

[mx-p5]

I agree totally, but, mine is painted, just the wrong color. lol

But, i'd rather the black lip than this being exposed

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

unpainted body pieces look like complete s***.

at least Tylors is painted, the wrong color yes, but still painted hahahaha

[mx-p5]

heck yes they are! Was talking on TMF about running some dryer vents to the brakes. lol

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

with all those track runs you do, thats definitely needed

[mx-p5]

Hence, the "LOL"

serious street performance!

and it'd HAVE to be mounted with duct tape, along with some cardboard canards

 

[aMaff]

perfect for a track car (don't effing use dryer vents tho LOL)

 

[mx-p5]

tis just a joke. i won't be venting the brakes. lol

i wish i wouldn't have cut those holes now. didn't think i'd get a MSP lip so soon . oh well

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

thats the downside of ADD

 

[mx-p5]

true true, although, i will still be doing projector fogs, so, i might need that hole

 

[Sliver5]

^^^I understand your case you plan on getting yours painted in a short period of time.

quoted for truth.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

How bout waterproof boat speakers & a nice amp for a public address system instead of replacing with fogs?

 

[mx-p5]

Now that's just silly.

Just snagged a vid of my exhaust setup now

Ractive long tube header, Injen SRI, exhaust leak, stock midpipe, exhaust leak, and magnaflow catback

I don't have computer speakers and won't hear what this sounds like till tomorrow at work, so, lemme know whatcha think
