Default TechniqueGarage Exclusive-Agency Power Ti Exhaust Install

So I'm back with another Agency Power Product.
It's not ok to buy a product just because it's cheap. Pay the extra and get the quality. I tried to save some money and I'm paying for it now. I regret it.

Sorry for the pic quality. It was done with my phone and sorry for making the install part so short. I didnt really know what else to say about a exhaust install... It's very easy.

This is what me trying to save money did.



So here we go...

TechniqueGarage
Awesome service. Great prices.
Technique Garage was key to this operation.
Thanks Rich!
- Sgtfluffy16 - Corey for helping me again with the install. He did alot of work, Actually he did all the work this time. I was too busy running around with the old pos. Taking pictures...
- Geoff at Agency Power. Agency Power just has great stuff. Quality surpasses the competition. This is the second time. It wasn't because I was sponsored. But because Megan Exhaust just didn't meet my standards. So far the Agency Power exhaust is already looking promising. One thing you notice is this is a very light exhaust.
I'll probably forget some things, so I'll revise this later.

This is the link for the Agency Power pulley. I thought I would bring that up. Same company awesome products.

I'm gonna type this is Corey tells me what was needed. I wasn't paying attention during the install.
Tools needed:
I used a jack and 2 ramps.
Ratchet wrench and sockets.
12mm and 14mm and 17mm.
Basic tools.
That should be it.

I'm gonna apologize that this write up is a little short. I'm pretty sure everyone will be able to figure it all out. Just a few bolts.

Start with getting the car off the ground. We ended up keeping the car on the sloped driveway. I back it onto the ramps. Then jacked up the passenger side front. This is Corey under the car.


This is the old one next to the new one.


I think it was rusting. Not too sure.

This is without the exhaust on the car. Taking the exhaust off. Simple. 2 bolts on the spipe back. That will take off the whole exhaust. Pull the mounts off all the gromits.
This is what it looks like.



There is a bracket in the middle. I actually took it off since the old exhaust. I tried putting it back on. But I just felt like leaving it off again. Doesn't really serve a purpose.

This is what it will look like when you put the new exhaust on the grommits. You can see we put the mid pipe together. It's the 2 in the middle. The stock will be one piece.


So after you put the hangars back where they belong you just go backwards and put all the bolts back on and tighten up all the other bolts.


This is when it's on. The bracket/hangar you have to put on yourself. It's great because you can move it around and it's more adjustable. You have some more control over where it hangs and how close you want it to the bumper.


To Corey once again.
We ate bacon cheeseburgers for lunch.

Over all. I really think it sounds better. I don't know if it's just mental or not. Has a throatier sound. Corey says sounds the same. I told him to go fishing.
No rattles. No leaks. It's all good. I already notice that I won't have problem with it melting my bumper any more. I drove it around and touch it. The actualy bumper doesn't get hot like before. The exhaust is higher. The other one was literally 3-4 inches off the ground. The old one kept falling off the hangars. The Agency Power exhaust you can actually tighten everything. Locks it into the grommits.

I'm happier. I feel more secure that I know this time. It's not going to fall off.

it really doesn't do it any justice. one thing i noticed is... it has a better sound. a little deeper than the competition... my other friend says it's not as loud as the old one. but i dont even notice. i do notice the nice sound of the exhaust. more throaty...

i love it. i can now drive around with the piece of mind i should have had since day 1 with a new exhaust.

i will get that or you. and the sound clip. i put my charger on the phone.

so as soon as i get home. or even tomorrow i will have the pics.
and the exhaust... i love it even more. those little air pockets... it's getting broken in and the little pockets are getting filled in. you can notice the nice sound. sounds heartier already. like the cambells chunky soup. not the other kind with 75% less chicken. this isn't a pitch. but i love the sound of the exhaust. it got better since last night.

man. i need to chill.. i'm too excited right now. this is a first.

in pa. more snow. i doubt it. but i thought since they are my sponsor and since i want to support them. i knew i had to be one of the first to try the product out. and give my opinion on it. i now have the piece of mind that i didnt from before. exhaust wise... i'll be sure to take care of it. but it's also to see the durability and all. make sure it's gonna last even with a little salt...
