What brand exhaust did you get, I know with the Magnaflow it's a hell of alot easier to install the 4" down pipe from up top, the biggest problem when putting it in from underneaeth is the flange that clamps pipe to turbo, it cuts into the insulation on firewall and tears the hell out of it.

 

I got a diamond eye kit. From alligator performance. It was 319 for the kit and109 for thw tip i got. Ill try and get some pics up of it

 

Oh yes.. and.. DEAR GOD WEAR GLOVES!!

 

That's crazy, the entire system is 300, and the damn tip is 1/3 that? haha

 

Yea I know right. Its kind of like a black chrome. It pretty cool looking.

 

Going up to the hobby shop on base in about an hour and gonna install the 5" exhaust. Can't wait.

 

Ok so i got the exhaust on with no problems. Wasn't hard at all. Took 2 hours to do tear out and instal (with smoke breaks). Only problem I am having is I couldn't stop it from rubbing on the trans crossmember. Any ideas on what I could use to put in between them to keep from getting the vibrations? A piece of high heat resistant rubber or anything?

 

I used some nomex wrap like you use on headers,,or to wrap cables near a blast funace at a steel mill

 

Mine did this too. It kept moving on me. I finally just loosened all the clamps, went under there and pryed it away from the x-member with a 2x4 or something like that, and then tightend the clamps all back up. Been good since then.
