First you gotta be like D and take off your shirt....it helps the sweat bead off your back better and stick to the nice cold cement...


Now, to totally be like D, you have to never wash your ARRRR....


Back to the install....remove the old cat or in my case, testpipe....


Continue to do nothing and watch D do all the work


Continue to watch D install in the new Carsound Cat courtesy of IPS Racing.


Once the cat is successfully installed, reset the ECU.


And always have the cops show up for support!!


Almost forgot, drink lots of these....



Thanks D (Matt) for the help!! x 100

LOL Nice Install summary
Just putting that thing on huh

 

fast cars, beer, cops, sweat and test pipes.

the best way to finish a day!

btw where are the strippers?

 

What cop all I see is darkness and a CW and PY ITR's

 

Cops drive geo trackers down there. . .

 

Did you get any clearance issues with the O2 sensor on the cat hitting against the shift linkages?

 

I bet these were your 3 most favorite steps huh?

It's pretty close. i'll have to check it in a bit, see if it's actually rubbing during driving.

 

It works great!!

 

Is it always necessary to reset the ECU after install a header and/or cat?

 

its not necessary as your engine will not blow up...but why not? i always reset ecu after installing any part on my car...even my seats

I know the engine will not blow up - but if resetting the ECU doesn't actually do anything... then WHY?

 

It could make a difference when the exhaust flow changes. It's for letting the ECU create new secondary variables which are stored in RAM.

 

MMMMMM lite American beer - what is that? 1% alcohol??

 

Light American beer, you can drink like 10 or 12 and still not be drunk, plus they come in 40s....we had to set the ECU because I was running a testpipe w/ a complimentary check engine light for almost 40,000 miles. I was getting use to seeing the light everyday. It's not the same without a check engine light.

 

close to it in fla....

nick, who along with yack, will bring NC 40oz malt goodness to D, dave, craig, and marc this weekend

 

Hell Yeah

 

I find all my installs go faster when a shirtless D is doing all the work...i think it's like his super-power or something. carsound cat. Did he use KY on the exhaust this time?

 

nice little story.. hehe

 

dood, Scott, what's up with the KY?

 

hrm looks like that tube of ky has been used quite a bit lol

 

AOL sucks.

 

LOL, was gona say the same thing.

 

Its alright when you not booted off

 

KY...? I thought D used astroglide...
