Charge Pipe/IC/Exhaust Install

Slinger24 · 12-12-2018, 12:53 PM

Hey All,

Reaching out to see if anyone in North County SD has experience doing a Charge Pipe and IC install.

Was going to go to a shop but decided DIY and could use a helping hand.

Thanks

I've installed several and it's not bad if you have access to a lift. Otherwise, it's a *fun* task on jack stands.

Damn...I was thinking of doing it on Rhino Ramps. Everything is always easier when you have the right tools.

You'll be fine on rhino ramps so long as you are somewhat physically fit and dont mind getting up and down a bunch times to work from up top and down below.

Thats what a lot of us did.

Good for you... not paying someone to do simple modifications/bolt ons.

The support is much appreciated 👍

I did my CP, DP, and axleback by myself. No help. DP was definitely the most challenging, but doable. Given that you're just looking at CP, FMIC, and exhaust, all of these can be one-man jobs. Just watch some DIY vids on YouTube. I happen to like Bryan_KiesMotorsports 's vids.

Hey Bryan_KiesMotorsports, can this qualify for that giveaway you're doing for the black kidneys?

Slinger, if you don't mind driving up to OC, I have a lift and could help you...you bring lunch and beer.

I just got some ramps last night and literally at Lowe's right now picking up a couple extra tools.

Where in OC are you? PM me

Can I join? I just need to pick up a new inlet pipe while I'm in there. Just got my ER CP and FMIC this week.

Is MST the way to go?
