Just seen your conversation with Cam. Enjoyed it immensely. Really liked hearing about your auto enthusiast history. I currently have 2 s13 chassis' I'm working on myself. Keep pushing brotha
@@harshtymesteggy fa sho! I'd love to see some pics/video of your S13. I did hear in your conversation that it was in some of the footage from F5, but not sure if it was reshot after the footage was ruined. The hatch that I have, its been thru a lot of tours of duty. Its clean but it has been beat up. The '89 coupe I have was owned by a writer from Sport Compact Car Magazine and MotorTrend. A lot of the articles he wrote on that particular car are still up on MotoIQ's web site. My plan is to restore that one and sell it complete with copies of all of the articles the car was in. I hope to never get rid of that hatch though.
That stupid bolt that hangs too low gave me a headache to and from work... once I trimmed that thing it was heaven on earth, thanks for this video man!
Thanks for the awesome vid man. Oh and thanks for the reminder to put the support bracket back in at the end 😂 im gonna install mine tomorrow night and probly watch this a few more times for some help. I only have hand tools but i will get the job done
@@harshtymesteggy Hey man thanks for the reply! Your channel is awesome, keep up the great work! (SORRY LONG COMMENT! ⚠⚠) I live in Eastern Canada (RUST BELT!) and my Civ is a 2012, so my installation was a little more difficult due to the amount of rust on the original exhaust! I don't have an impact but I have a pretty good set of wrenches and ratchets, so I had to do it all with muscle power! 💪 The first flange was so rusted that I had to remove the cat + intermediate pipe combo from the car to be able to grind all 3 of the studs off and pop them out. They didn't even look like nuts anymore they were just a rounded mess of rust. That 3-bolt flange (the first one that meets up with the new skunk2 stuff) was SO deteriorated from rust that on one side of the gasket it was missing enough metal to probably leak, so I have some RTV Silicone to fill in that gap and that should get me through until I can do a proper flange repair there (But in all reality I will probably just buy the skunk2 header instead ;) In the process of that, I snapped one of the springy bolts that attaches the cat to the downpipe, so I had to grind out the welded nut on that side and replace that with a nut+bolt combo. And replace that donut gasket. Man it's tough getting those springy bolts back in because you have to compress the spring enough to get the bolt through enough to catch some threads, even with a c-clamp helping with the pressure it was not easy! I have been hacking at it for the better part of a month whenever I have free time and I'm finally done all the hard work, tonight I should be able to finally bolt up the new skunk and see how it sounds. It was a difficult process but I learned a lot and I gained a ton of confidence on my mechanical abilities through this. I asked for advice on some forums and they all told me to just bring it to a shop because I would not be able to do this myself, but I stayed strong, watched your video a bunch of times. Now the hard part is over. I spent a bit of money buying some tools to do the various things I needed to do, but I still paid less than what a shop would charge, and now I own these tools forever. Finally: thank god you mentioned about grinding down that bolt on one of the heat shields , I was able to take care of that before putting the skunk in which made it easy to avoid that problem. The last thing I need to do tonight is find that piece of the heat shield where you bent it in and then I should be on easy street bolting the new gear in. So basically I'm just trying to say thanks for the detailed instructions in this video and I'm sure it helped a lot of people out, especially the tips at the end about fixing the rattling noise. I'm sure once I hear how it sounds tonight everything will be worth it. All I know is I would kill to have a hoist, lol.
Since i live up north with salt from snow and years of having the car my catalytic converter bolts were rusted to hell we had to cut the bolts off on each side then drill through then and tap them out, was the hardest part of the install put got the exhaust finally on and sounds great
Why was it important to put that little black cross bar back on? My exhaust piping was hitting it causing a vibration under acceleration so I had to remove it.
This was hilarious and the most informative video on 9th gen exhaust installs. Thank you!
Laughter is healthy. Awesome! Thanks for watching and being a subscriber.
Came for the install.
Watched to the end and was wrong..
Proper vid.
I gained confidence, humility and humour 😊
No worries! Good laugh in life is good.
you make it look so easy... but the comments brought me back to reality...I might need to watch more vids to gain all the confidence I need lmao
lol! Go for it!

Heeeey! I used to have a sweeet S13 I built from junk. Much respect.

I was cracking up the whole video. 🤣 Good job making an exhaust install informative and entertaining. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! LOL

Right on! lol!

You’re very welcome

💪🏾💪🏾🐺
That just build it shirt is dope, great design seen on your website. Solid video, good humor and attitude. SUB'd for future chill vids
Big thanks and appreciate that feedback. Big ups for the sub!
I love this , thanks for the angles !
💪🏾💪🏾
best install video iv found definitely feelin more confident after this video
That's good to hear. I hope it goes well
Do you need to weld anything together I’m kinda impatient and I wanna make sure I didn’t skip over the part
No welding was required for this installation
Why was it important to put that little black cross bar back on? My exhaust piping was hitting it causing a vibration under acceleration so I had to remove it.
I usually like to re-install anything that may add structural support and it wasn't causing an issue.
Same issue with mine that rattle noise was annoying great video
Indeed
Clean setup bro quick question I have a 2009 Honda civic could I apply this exhaust system even tho it’s for si?
I believe there’s a variation for the Si.
such a great video man thank you helped me a lot! sounds great too.
Big thanks and glad to help! 💪🏾🐺
Cool
Thanks!
Great job! Work on that pronunciation of the “catalytic converter” but other than that amazing job!
How about that cat! Lol!
@@harshtymesteggy meow 🐱
Do you need to tune it with this exhaust setup?
They did not
Was this the 3” catback? And does anyone know if the 3” will fit in the factory downpipe?
Product link in description
Nice detail video installation
Thanks 👍
🔥💣🤙🏻
thanks much
Is this the skunk 2 R or RR?
I believe this was an RR. Been a minute since the install. Link to product in the description for more info
Give us a rev! 👆
💪🏾
Ice cube doing the commentary?!
Yup!
Enjoy daily drone and headache
He does
Catalatic converter lol
👌🏾
Lol no Diddy
Not at all
