dem0ntsi Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I got the email with the tracking number, thanks 101... i was wondering though, was there anything special done to my exhaust that would require the installation shop to do anything different? My car is bone stock right now so I just have the stock oxygen sensor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89PalermoSHP Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 101, i received my exhaust yesterday and everything looks nice except for one important issue. the flange where the down pipe meets the back of the turbo concerns me. the placement of the pipe is too far off center leaving only an 1/8" or so of material around the bottom of the flange. i fear this is prone to leak and wanted to address it prior to installation. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w202/89PalermoSHP/DSC00100-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lives4Speed Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The Pipe is centered. Each mounting hole is the same distance from the pipe making it centered. It IS however thin on that edge. WHY. My guess is because of the turbo exhaust housing. Most 3 inch Exhausts flanges have difficulty bolting up here. Why that was done on your 2.5?????? My 2.6 cents.

89PalermoSHP Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 im going to guess the 2.5" and 3" use the same flange since the pipe flares out where its welded to the flange. either way, im not comfortable with how thin that web is.

BC_99 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) There is just less material on that edge of the flange. It doesnt radius out as much as the other 2 edges. It does raise concerns though. Any thoughts 101? BC_99 Edited August 7, 2009 by BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem0ntsi Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Mine was delivered today, i have to pick it up from the apt office tommorrow :party0049: I was wondering... is anyone going to replace their oxygen sensor when the get their exhaust installed? I was told we should go to a 3-4 wire O2 sensor with a bigger exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Quest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just got mine installed! It went fairly easy for the most part. I am glad that the noise at idle is not obnoxious. Gonna take it out later to hear it under boost! The biggest issue I encountered with the install is that the bolts supplied were about an inch too short so I had to stimulate the local economy to the tune of ~$6 and get new ones.

I was told we should go to a 3-4 wire O2 sensor with a bigger exhaust? You should be able to keep the one wire O2 in stock loc. for the stock ecu and add a wideband setup whenever you want. (Thats what the second bung is in the B-Pipe for)That is what Dad suggested to me awhile back. The AEM Uego is an easy to install and reliable wideband setup.

toofast Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 The only thing that i was wondering is has anyone installed their new exhaust with the wideband at 10:00 where 101 welded the bung?Does it clear everything because he forgot to weld my bung in the b-pipe so i figured id ask before i received the bung and welded it on myself :confused0024: And if i could use a mig welder to weld it on?thanks,Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrophage Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 About that small discrepancy on the exhaust clearance at the turbo there is plenty of clearance on my s16g so could have definetly used more steel there to stop a potential leak. Mookeh you could have kept it thick in that area then offered a new wastgate plate with the new shape. The product is high quality looks very nice good manufacturing job.
