Oh, and one thing I've learned from Rob Golden is, besides using a penetrating lubricant, to run a wire brush over the exposed threads. A lot of times, the nut will start to move and then get stuck on rust particles from the area that was exposed...then, there is little hope of getting the fastener off.

BTW, I just swapped my RB Street Port/long primary 13B exhaust between cars about a month ago, so you have my sympathy.

 

Well, I didn't pay anything, to be honest. Powertank gave it to me because I was testing the unit for a magazine article, plus using it on a Grand Am Cup team I crew on (as a backup to our Nitrogen tank, during hot pit stops). The basic unit, I believe, is a bit over $300 but with all the extras they sent me, it was about $425 (that was including a quick-release bracket, balistic nylon air line, etc).

when u put the springs on, are you going to cut the bumpstops like mazdatrix tells u too

 

what do u do for a living 100 t2

 

Don't underestimate the power of a propane torch on the nut. Heat will cause it to expand, which can loosen it...

Just NOT near the fuel tank/lines/pump/filter....

Duh!

 

Funny, I had to take off all that exhaust shielding to put mine on last night.
