after you're done check to ensure that the 16 (was it) or so bolts for the covers are snug tight. they tend to fall off after a while due to dealerships not tightening down enough (or over tightening them and cross threading

)

Mr. Kenchan is correct. I have lost 2 of them. For some reason, they are not stocked parts either. Go figure.

yah, i use to get my G's oil change done at the dealer way back when they had 3 free oil changes offered for cars bought there. well, ended up i lost 2 screws as well for the 12 or so that is used on the G.

and you're right, they dont stock these screws.

luckily i had a few in my screw bin with the same 10mm hex and length so added a stainless washers and fixed.

never gone to the dealer for oil change ever since.

I have heard a lot of good things with the ART pipes. Good numbers. I think BoostLee has that setup, and the soundclip was awesome.

I wish I could blame the dealer, but I have performed all but the first of my 8 oil changes myself.

I plan on doing the oil changes myself from this point on too, but I need to get some ramps first.

I will post pics. I bought only the two end pieces -- 8 feet total. My driveway is one car wide and very long (very old house).
