This touching comes from the angles at the band clamps by the X pipe. A lot of potential for rotation here. To be honest, the X brace clearances to me were the easiest to clear (1/2"), the inlet pipes were a bit tougher (1/4-5/16") seeing they bolted directly to the LDPs and were pretty hard...
After al the researching and questions (love this forum for this) finally got her all set up. Went with B6A resonated LDPs and AWE track for the install. After i got everything installed, well damn, she woke up. Sound clips don't do it justice. That setup was loud!
Only install issues I had...
No issues. Each UDP has 1 stud facing down for alignment. Bolt comes off, stud is reused.
Driver side has 1 bolt needing removal from the top. 24” extensions and swivel.
Passenger side has 2 bolts needing removal from top.
Same tools. Have a deep and shallow socket.
And a breaker bar helped...
One more question on the install. Both the AWE track exhaust and the boosted six lower down pipes came with a reducing adapter. Looks to me as if the inner diameter of this adapter is 2 1/2 inches. Whereas the inner diameter of the exhaust and the lower downpipe is 3 inches. Is this adapter...
Word. Thx @kevinbonds. Went ahead and did that.
Now, I notice the B6A hardware is smaller than OEM. My guess is that helps with adjustment and fitment?
Fellas, a lil help here. Finally bout to install the B6A LDPs and AWE track. Demoed everything out so far. The UDP flanges have 1 threaded stud left in them. Are those to be reused or do I need to remove this and use all new hardware? It’s odd to me why they have threaded studs in there.
