if u have a rounded one i would say pick up another one because eventually you wont get it off without drilling it
true, are there specific sizes i should get or can i go into an autozone and be like i need exhaust bolts?

There aren't any bolts that hold the midpipe on. The bolts on the exhaust manifold are for the nuts on the other side. Man, Benny, you need help!!
hahah i dooo thats why i have you guys!!



yes he does.. btw, charles.. please smack benny with a wrench or a newspaper.. then make sure the sways are installed upside down...

btw, have fun guys. jealous.

beers
haha you should go to the meet and do it personally!!! haha sorry bout the sways!!!

1. Chuck (lurch519) I will be helping with doing mods.
2. Chris (chrism) Zex kit with purge, bottle opener and heater and maybe 2 guages
3. Kevin: Sway swap, Spring swap, maybe more swapping who knows right now.
4. Pat (Shinka213) - possibly sways if you can squeeze me in...
5. Mike (Steakboy42)- Clear Corners
6. Benny (lil benny) sways(F/R), Midpipe, coils, MAYBE rear carbing bar
7.......(jzrx8) coming to chill/learn
8. Dave (8is>enuff) If the time and tools are available I'd like to install brake rotors/pads/SS lines.


EVERYONE PASSING BY NJ TURNPIKE OR WANTS TO MEET UP
Me and Chrism are meeting up at 830 at the rest stop right after 8A on the turnpike

so far i believe its
Me + Friend (Wrx)
ChrisM
Smrx8

yo CRH i think you mistaken.. im installing a midpipe.. i already have an exhaust

this is just an FYI:

this is an install meet....and we only have the shop for a limited time..approx 6 hours...we have a lot of work to do....

Lurch had to get BIG permissions from lots of bosses for this...so, i would defer it to him whether it would be appropriate....

thanks for understanding...

yeah, im gonna have to agree. I am trying to not have this be a humongous thing. pat is right, i had to get permission from the owner to do this, and i dont want things to get out of hand. i dont have a problem with people coming down. just lets keep things cool.
