Yeah I used PB blaster the night before and most of them came off pretty easy. That last one though was stuborn. I have been on an extended break from the install cooking and eating dinner. Mesquite smoked tri-tip was my controbution and the roommate made risotto and ceasar salad. Not sure if mixing italian and BBQ is the koser but it was good. Roomates girlfriend made chocolate covered strawberrys for desert. Now I am in food coma and not sure if the install portion of the job will happen tonight or tomorrow after work.

Question on the ART pipes for those that have done this. What is the best method to get the round metal crush gasket to stay inplace and seal between the headers and the ART pipes? I was planning on using some high temp gasket tube.

Was a clear day for the most part and really cold and windy. So I'm driving my Z and all the sudden and not even on the forecast, a good amount of snow came down limiting visibility and made roads slippery....back end came out one time but no one was on the road and I was going slow.

In for results! I wonder how well that setup keeps heat from getting sucked into the manifold?

OUCH!!!!!!

Hope it isnt too bad. Good luck getting her fixed. I have had mine in the shop twice for body work so I know the feeling. A hail storm dimpled the whole car, smashed the spoiler and taillight all before the first oil change Then last summer I hit a deer. To be expected where I live, they are EVERYWHERE!!!!! Its the first deer I hit (in my 370) but I fear it wont be the last. I loathe deer.

Oh, and HI everyone Its winter and while my Z is hibernating I sorta am as well. Havent been around/posting as much.

ONZEDGE, every get those Koni's on????
