How to install b-pipe?

Jon91Turbo · 03-28-2008, 09:09 PM

Today I recieved my b-pipe from you guys. It's a very nice looking, quality piece. However, I can't install it. I've been struggling with it for the last hour and I just can't slide it into place. It gets stuck going over the crossmember. Is there a certain trick to getting it in?

You have to either get the car REALLY high, or else drop the rear subframe several inches.

Does the B pipe replace the secondary cat ?

Exactly what Ken said.

You need to have the ass end at least 3-4 feet off the ground so you can twist the bpipe in the correct way, have access to a lift, or drop the crossmember to the first drop point so you can get more room to position it in.

So if a CT-27 combo kit was added to a stock motor with a manual boost controller cranked up to about 17psi, and the ATS b-pipe added, would the stock exhaust be OK, or would it then be a bottleneck ?

The stock b-pipe is far more restrictive than the stock muffler.

But you will get to a point where the stock muffler cant keep up. You might gain some HP and response by going bigger. Its been dyno proven 3 inch exhaust and DP is always better than 2.5, but is it worth it? Not really sure.
