Hey Turbo, I think the new tips look great. My personal opinion, the tips should just slightly poke out of the diffuser. Good luck with yet another mod to your never ending project

Slightly like an inch maybe? You know because the tips just clamp on I'll probably take several pictures at different lengths and see what everyone thinks is good. Yea. Projects seem never ending lol

I think snapping a couple of different placements of them installed maybe the your best bet. Sending them and posting them. I'm certain you'll get feedback. Who knows, you may find your preferred placement after looking at the various photos yourself.

Good luck man!

Currently changing the oil using LIQUI MOLY MFC, oil filter housing gasket, oil cooler gasket and belt all installed courtesy of Burrninja himself! everything ordered from ECS Tuning. comes to find out it looks like my Indy mechanic never actually changed out my oil filter housing gasket 2 years ago by looking at the gasket as it was pretty hard and not soft? we're suspecting he changed the oil cooler gasket instead as it still looked new. pretty ridiculous if you ask me! anyways, gonna use some simple green to scrub out all the oil cake build up on the motor where all the pulleys are with a wire brush. also gonna remove the cover underneath that protects the engine since it's been drenched in oil!



also my 4" tips came in! can't wait to get these on

been busy that last couple of days just cleaning up all the oil sludge that was left on the motor when i had the oil filter gasket housing replaced. as most of you know when it leaks it drips onto the belt which than flings all over everything. Much cleaner now!

what a PITA LOL! so because the gyms are now closed in Ohio i decided to put my energy into installing the VRSF catless dp. so there were quite a few issues i ran into. the 2nd nut bracket was really hard to get off because of how much room there was to work with. i eventually got it off but it did take some time. the 2nd was no matter what i do there just wasn't enough room to get the dp off with the exhaust still on. so that was the 3rd issue was removing the whole exhaust system including removing the lower brace bracket. once the exhaust was dropped it was just a matter of wiggling off the dp.

here she is flying high!



exhaust is down




and here's the OEM dp!


will post more progress pictures when i start reinstalling everything

alright, got the Vibrant defouler installed along with all the OEM o2 sensors. per discussion in the Vibrant defouler thread i used the middle size restrictor and i have it facing upward as recommended. hope this helps other people interested in doing this as i couldn't find any info on which defouler to use which restrictor to use and the fact it needs to face up!




so after everything was installed i'm happy to report there's no CEL!!!!!!

just in case someone is researching i attached the link regarding the Vibrant defouler
https://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1698863

thanks to top ramen for the info on restrictor size during his research

and thanks to ziekxq for info regarding which way the vibrant faces and which 02 sensor it's to be installed on

Yeah I just used some plastic trim tools and popped them off. Took me under 3 min to do both covers and they look great. My wife says my car looks like the bat mobile lol.

Installed a K&N drop in just now. Looks like my cars filter hadn't been replaced in more than 20k mi. I'm at 65k now after having put 4K on.
