Installed UDP and fixed exhaust leak...
well the UDP install was realitly easy.. except i unscrewed the smaller pulley tightner screw and i had a hell of a time getting it back in..... then the larger belt tension pulley "bolt" somehow got crossed treaded.. so i had to tighten it the old fashion way... i got a huge screwdriver and pushed... and my bother tightened the pulley.....
can i feel difference?.. yes.. yes i can (so
dougy)
i get to 6000 rpm a lot quicker than i did before...the car is more responsive at lower rpms..(which i was hoping for)
the exhaust leak? hmm.. when i got the car on the lift... there was a bolt missing one the cat.. so.. replace the bolt.. make sure everything it tight.. ~~~boom~~~ no more leak!!
i aslo found out why there was a clunking noise from my rear passenger side... the b pipe is touching the underbody when i corner.. so a muffler gromet and a bolt in the right place and that noise will be history...
it was a good weekend!! got all my "problems" fixed!!

Let's see, the car gets to 6000 faster, but I bet your ETs haven't changed. How is that possible then? The best a person has gooten is a .2 second faster time in the 1/4, which IS NOT feelable. How are you feeling it?

I think the reason your buddy with the 2k max is beating you now is that your car has finally adjusted to the UDP take it off and you will beat him once again

the quick fix is---the rubber gromet thing (muffler hanger)secure one right on the place were the pipe touches. they are made for heat. so you will not melt it. they are only like $3

Ok, cool! Don't you think that your exhaust is kinda sloppy with the oem hangers? My exhaust has quite a bit of lateral movement.

they forgot to add one more hanger.... that would have stiffened it up enough..

Yep! The (easy) options are to weld a rod to the body and exhaust or polyethelene bushings etc.....It's all hackery! I know, yo its ok and rba did something with some custom hangers at $15 a piece (pricey) but I would like to do something clean and tight.
