Hey guys just bought my first actual mod. An HKS dp. i know theres some question about it because its mildsteel but i figure if i wrap it with header tape. however i searched around alot and found that it got pretty good reviews from everyone who has it.
anyway while i was searching i couldnt find any sort of intructions for instalation, so is it basically like installing any other dp or is there any other tricks to it i should know about.
thanks

o by the way i also got my first useless mod an "POWERED BY HKS" licence plate holder... 20whp if u didnt know

cheers

 

thats nice.

take old one off, new one on, bunch of bolts, not rocket science.

 

No tricks, Just busted knuckles if the bolts are rusted on.

 

Will header tape prevent rust in mild steel? I'm not questioning like a smartass, but rather questioning like a dumbass.
ryan.

as for the plate holder adding 20hp- my stripes added at least 50whp which is why I don't have a downpipe, they're just not necessary when your car has racing stripes.

 

I just took my pre-cat off, took a good 2-3 hours, but I really didnt know exactly what I was doing so it took some "what the f#$@" time. I didn't have to pre-soak the nuts with liquid wrench or pb blaster, but a little WD40 and a breaker bar and it's all good. Heres what the ol' nuclear reactor looks like in case anyone hasn't seen it.

 

Noon-what is that rusted piece of metal next to the precat?
