First I just wanted to say Ken from trdsparks is the man! They have the most impressive customer service there it is incredible. They shipped me my exhaust in two days and are the nicest people (Not to mention have excellent prices)! Anyways, I am going to be installing this tomorrow with pics and vids. I have done a lot of research on this and carefully chose this exhaust. I will let you all know how it went.

*Should I reset the ECU or do anything else after installing the exhaust or is that only necessary with cai?*

 

just bolt it on and enjoy!

 

i got the exhaust from ken too, and he gave me 10% off since it was an injen product! I love the exhaust. At first I thought it was too loud, but after a few days it really grew on me. And you can't hear it much at highway speeds, which is good.

 

Awesome, should I use a jack and stand stands to put it on? What did you guys use?

 

yes

 

Meh, I had to call them twice just to get them to ship my tail lights...which were in stock, boxed, and ready to be sent.

 

Where is the best place to position jack stands to install exhaust?

And what about when I install cai?

 

I just put my car on ramps, installed the exhaust, and was good to go. When installing CAI you need to disconnect the battery which resets the ECU anyways.

 

Did you get it installed yet?

 

No, I didnt get it installed yet. It came with a fitting for the flange, anyone know what this is for?

 

I have a picture of the piece I am not sure how to load it though! Hoe do I get the image url?

Here it is, what is this for? Does this replace anything on the oem exhaust?

it connects from the exhaust pipe to the OEM pipe.

 

isn't the injen an axleback? should be a nice quick install. should sound good!

 

it does sound good

 

yes, it is the axleback, I was just making sure I need this piece when I install it. I can finally do it this morning because weather permits it! I will take pics when I am done!

 

I just installed the exhaust and I put the piece that I didnt know what was for inbetween the oem mid pipe and the new injen pipe. I am not sure if I am getting any leaks or not, how do I tell if it is a flush mount? Should I just remove that piece because the stock exhaust didnt even have one. Thanks!

Also, the exhaust seemed to be producing a smoglike "gas" from the exhaust, is this normal for a new install?

 

I just left that piece there, I suppose it helps push out the exhaust a few millimeters away from my bumper. Is the smoke coming out just after the install ? I would check it out again after you've driven it around. It's probably some substance that is just getting burned off.

 

I have the injen, and u are probably getting a leak. There is an o-ring on the stock exhaust that u must remove wit a flathead screwdriver then insert that exhaust gasket. It will fit ohhh so flush after u do this. If u have an air gun to tighten the 2 bolts on the exhaust it would be recommended!! Well good luck, one more thing add exhaust cement paste if u want a supertight fit.Only bad thing about this is that ur gunna have a hard time taking the exhaust off if ever u should need to
