Default ADVICE: Can anyone tell me of some of the problems I might have...

Installing a Mugen twinloop on a stock cat? I know it will be a pain to get the bolts off, but is there anything else I need to consider when installing? I should be getting everything in this week, and throwing it on over the weekend. Just looking for some people who have ran into "gotcha's" with this setup, to make the install a little smoother, and if there are anything I will need. Thanks guys...

Brandon - who is all too familiar with we-todds, but prefers the smooth installs

The only part that sucks is that the bpipe is one piece as opposed to the easier to install 2piece bpipe. Overall, there shouldn't be any unexpected difficulties.

Brandon -- if your interested, I have a USDM resonator type test pipe that I'm no longer using.

Any reason you're staying with a stock cat? Ed

hey wussup, I own the mugen twin loop exhaust. Other then the bolt your definalty need those tension springs mounted on the hinges. The back pressure caused by the exhaust is crazy, so your need these to avoid crazy creeks and noises, other than that get a high flow cat and enjoy the sounds of mugen

What are you referring to in terms of "tension springs mounted on the hinges"
