    Off Road mid pipe install questions....

    I am ready to switch my catted X pipe with an off road H pipe and was wondering if it's a straight forward install? Would removing the entire driver/passenger catback make it easier? I also read about O2 extenders as I don't have those and it seems like I will have the "Check Engine Light"...

    Heat Exchanger problem

    Anybody have a problem with the hose that goes on the right side of the H/E? It's a really short 90 degree hose. It was damn impossible to put it on. I used WD-40 to extend it a bit from the long hose behind the H/E and it was still short. When I put it on the new H/E it came off of the...

    That underwater type effect

    I don't know if much people notice this but a lot of exhaust set-ups you hear an under-water effect at idle. Like it's blowing bubbles. How do I get rid of this? I don't think the exhaust type matters because I've heard it in both catted and catless mid-pipes.

    A Few Heat Exchanger Install Questions:

    I read that you need to buy longer hoses because the stock hoses are too short to re-attach to the new unit. When taking off the stock heat exchanger and the antifreeze pours out, can you re-use this? It says put 50/50 antifreeze and distilled water in the "intercooler". how will you do this...
