A little rivalry at the track would be fun as long as he doesn't get his butt all hurt and start swinging at people when even a ricey cobalt girl car walks him. For some reason he strikes me as that type of individual from his heated responses and call outs on here. Hopefully that's not the case.
As it stands right now, even grand_hustle would probably beat me with my clutch as fried as it is. It's to the point where if I hold the cruise control to speed up while in 6th gear at 65 mph, the clutch slips and the cruise control instantly turns off. For some reason it still does OK if I roll into WOT above 4500 rpms, but aggressive shifts and launching are out of the question.

Lemme inform the forum seeing as though u wanna act like u dont know why i said what i said.................. Maxima.org there was suppose to be a MD vs NC showdown at one point... Jaypee99 vs sparks was suppose to be the match up, Kingjames vs Grand_hustle17 (im sure some remembered that cause that was in the 5th gen section also) datdude20 vs a couple of others and so on and so forth hence why i keep bringing up jaypee's name... i know sparks probebly never accept the challenge and never thought about it but thats the main reason i keep brining it up................
I've unknowingly challenged entire car clubs to race (on the street, HA!!!) without even being a party to it. I just love it when people talk for me, it makes me feel like I'm too important to talk for myself.

Sadly I'm not much of the calling out type. I know I'm slow, with the amount of mods I have I should at least be in the 12.7-12.8 range with a better driver.
grand_hustle, on the other hand, has only extended his challenge to 5.5 gens that are not located in certain areas. Sorry

I wouldn't have anything to gain from bragging after beating you. It's an auto 4-speed with less mods. The auto is definitely faster at higher power levels from gearing, but it's a bit of a dog at N/A levels. I can say that from experience after sitting in the tuning chair of a certain black auto 5.5 gen for a couple of hours recently.

Okay...getting tired of this bull ish. Anyone care to tell me how the **** they angled their OBXs so they'd slide up onto the manifold? Before I put them on catapult and launch them into oblivion... 
I'm sick of fighting with these things...

basically, dont tighten any bolts on the head, get em on the stud the loosely then just have the bolt hold em there, after the rear is on then let the fight begin... try to get the front manifold to line up with the y and bolt that in

Well, I guess I'm just going to go back out and fight with them. 
I'm almost half tempted to buzz through the lower part of the collector with a saw, have the shop weld on some flanges, and go from there if this doesn't work out.
This has been going for three days now. I'm exhausted...

I hate to start another ****-throwing fest, but my rear header went on in about 10 minutes

If I ever do this again, I'm going with Cattman. **** OBX. I'd be much happier seeing these ****ing things burn than having them installed...

Well it's easy enough to remove, just unbolt the subframe and the motor mounts then pull it down. You'll need a jack under the transmission to make the holes line back up to reinstall... the modification would be cutting a notch in it afaik. Isn't there an OBX header install thread around here somewhere with pics?

But other than that, I just wasn't really sure where to cut. I guess I'll have to pull it and go from there.
Edit: Nevermind. It's just the shield that's in the way. It's only held on by two spot welds. I'm going to just cut/remove the bastard.

Removing those heat shields made me want to stomp kittens, though.
