Do you still have the stock dual?

If so, are they both falling off?
If both or only one, then just pull one/both off on.

That's what I did to mine when I used to have stupid meineke job with dual N1.
One fell off, so I just drove like it. I always wanted single after that anyways...

I have a complete set now RB 3" and all to a single exit.

Yeh, make sure you know someone who really knows what they're doing, (not necessarily speaking about exhaust) perhaps an experienced mechanic.

I've seen people here just bolt **** on just because they fit. (Freaking washers not even on the right place, just an ex.)

I love torque wrench.


Dude, save some cash dude, it'll add up in the end just as a real system.

same with suspension, you buy this and that, and in the end, ****, might as well bought a coilover system...

These are the cheapies that I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2X-UN...50737369QQrdZ1

There is actually 2 of them for the price... They say HKS but they are something else... I googled the part number that was on the sticker when I got them and it was another brand name... It was nothing that great though... All I know is that with the silencers in place it is a little louder than stock and with out them it is a lot louder... I think they sound great either way....
