Installed my Y-pipe and Downpipe

AND ITS FREAKING RANING OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get this upgrade and it has to ******* rain. Anyways, I installed a Bonez DP and an Efini Y-Pipe and Im really anxious to try it out, so the damn sky should listen to me and stop spitting.

CALM DOWN!! The rain might be telling you something...make sure you installed everything correctly and hooked everything back up!!

Try living where it is around -20C (-4F), about 4-5 feet of snow and the car has been in storage for the past 4 months. I do feel for you though, I have a downpipe sitting in the basement just waiting to go on the car. Take TT_Rex_7 advice and double check everything, if you can't drive the car the next best thing is working on it.

We did check everything, the car runs great. I had to drive it home from our dealership where we installed it. We let it sit and idle for a while just to make sure everything was cool and it is. And Im just bitchin to bitch, im not really whining about it raining... it just sucks.

Nice that you got them in OK.

With a DP and y-pipe installed, you are likely to have a significant increase in boost. With no boost controller, you should monitor your boost closely. You don't want it to go over 11 on a stock ecu. Those mods will almost certainly put you over 11 psi.

I know how you feel. Earlier it just stopped raining so I went to install my AST elmination mod and right when I pop the hood I hear raindrops lol. Yeah it does suck. Have fun boosting happily with your new mods. But mind what Adam said. Adding en efiniy y-pipe plus DP may give you a significant raise in boost. If you're running a stock ecu. Then be careful and watch for overboost.
