I noticed quite a few people broke their bolts. Y is that? Are you guys tightening the bolts too much? Or are they bolted on too tight and the force of trying to loosen them is causing the breaking? I'm planning on doing this soon and don't wanna bust 'em bolts!

k__dam · 12-19-2008, 11:08 AM

i drove my car for 11 months before i tried to remove the axleback, and it was on pretty tight. I could only imagine how hard it may be if the car was 2+ years old.

***dentrecords*** · 12-19-2008, 01:08 PM

PB blaster really helps!

asdfasdf011 · 12-19-2008, 04:07 PM

PB blaster > WD40?

***dentrecords*** · 12-19-2008, 06:42 PM

for sure.

JT-KGY · 01-03-2009, 07:01 PM

Did anyone of you start the car without the axle back in place? (video?)
Just wondering how loud it will be if I go with a simple straight pipe.

k__dam · 01-03-2009, 07:54 PM

I did it for 2 days, gave me a headache but it sounds good to me, very deep growl

sounds amazing, without anything though it causes a lot of vibration

Darn.. sounds like it will be kinda loud then?
I really just wanted a better throttle response w/o any more sound...

k__dam · 01-08-2009, 03:24 PM

i noticed a bit of a rattle, seems like my old duct taping job wasnt doing it.
I was to lazy to buy washers so i tried sandwich twist ties

Hopefully that'll work haha

splew · 01-08-2009, 03:33 PM

Lol, just hope they don't melt.

quiet3 · 01-08-2009, 10:30 PM

wow thats ghetto

K3vY · 01-12-2009, 09:05 PM

omg..i just broke one of the bolts...when i was redoing the installation...i cant take it out..

k__dam · 01-12-2009, 09:28 PM

Can you take pictures, I wanna see what and how it broke so I can be prepared for this if it happens to me

Baisa 11Bravo · 02-05-2009, 01:32 PM
