Bassani Xpipe

[Shorty429]

My new X pipe just came in today and i'm going to put it on tomorrow. I've never done this before, any tips or tricks i should know? I heard the hangers can be a real pain in the @$$. is this true?

[94svtcobra]

[Shorty429]

Should be a breeze unless the studs snap.

+1 Its not hard at all, unless the header studs are seized. You'll need some extensions and possibly a swivel socket to get the header stud nuts off, at least I did when I had shorties on my car.

X2! Getting up to those headers is such a PITA.

I broke a swivel when i put my o/r h on.

Thanks for the advice guys. do i have to take the hangers off or do they just slide out?

[Sonic03snake]

The hanger stays in place, the hooks slide out.

Thanks for the tips. Sounds like a good setup, we'll see how it goes. I'm excited

Mine should be in tomorrow also..Ill also snap some pics and let you guys know how it turns out!

This is a total n00b question so dont flame me :) lol But arent there o2 sensors on my stock h pipe? What do I do with them once the o/r is on?

[Chargin2004GT]

They still have places to put them into the new pipe... Be ready for the check engine light to come on (unless you have them programmed out) also the rear O2 sensors may need extened ( they make wire kit for that)

[Jper]

IF they need extended and I dont have the kit what do I do in the mean time?

[Shorty429]

Just deal with the check engine light I'd imagine...

Ouch, thats a tough break man. But if it makes you feel any better i had to take 3 trips to the hardware store cuz i ended up cutting off bolt that had practically welded them selves together. Guess they haven't been touched for a while, like 22 two years. I got it on and i LOVE the little bit of raspyness that it put in the tone. Now i just need to get a cat back and some long tubes and i'll be good to go

And thanks to lou for getting me the pipe in a timely manner! Can't wait to blow some more money out at LMM
