Cool. Did it suprise you how much the RB exhaust weighs?! They put the "Heavy" in Heavy Duty...but that's what it takes to be durable.

Nope. I remember my turbo-back exhaust on my old T2 weighed a goddamn lot more than this did.

Oh and while im thinking about it make sure to put on the exhaust while wearing gloves or else when you put the header on and it heats up the areas that were touched will be colored differently... Just thought I would give you a heads up to keep that nice finish looking like new!

I always wear gloves when I work on the car... I hate getting grease on my hands. It's nice working in a laboratory, I have about 10 boxes of surgical gloves.

The RB springs are amazingly awesomely incredible.

I've paired them up with KYB GR-2s and I couldn't be more happy.

You've got me absolutely *drooling* over this stuff... RB Long Primary Exhaust...

I bought some Tokickos off ebay to go with 'em. As soon as they get here, the springs are going on. I'm going to work on my interior today, and probably tackle the exhaust this evening.

I just broke my goddamn rachet trying to get the bolts off the old, rusty, shitty exhaust.

Off to Sears! ( <------ Betcha Sears turns green...)

Use the right tool for the job... Im sure with an impact you could have the new exhaust put on in like an hour... I know what you mean though I was there myself about 6 months ago... Cold garage, bleeding knucles, swearing, its a really frusturating experience without the proper tools.

with mine I have just scrubbed and used some steel wool, it works but takes some serious scrubbing... The best way is to not have fingerprints on it in the first place by cleaning them off...

The cost is similar, but I found that a "PowerTank" is much more portable and just as powerful as a regular compressor.



Mine is the 10 lb version. Cost to refill is about $15 and it lasts for a good weekend of car projects.
