[@rickytube2375]

Turbo sockets bro. Mine were really rusted and stripped and I bought some turbo sockets and they came off pretty easy.

can you pass smog with those test pipes ?

[@rickytube2375]

You can’t pass smog with any test pipes. You either put the cats back on or get a hot smog

Those extractor sockets save life’s fr 😂

On god 😂

[@NotBigL]

How'd you manage to tighten the bolts to the headers? Especially doing it on your own. Mine keeps loosening for some reason.

[@rickytube2375]

You probably need spacers if they keep coming loose or your bolts and nuts could be bad

[@NotBigL]

@@rickytube2375 I tightened them about a week ago, and today they have another leak. Do you mean washers?

[@rickytube2375]

Yeah my bad I mean washers.

[@rickytube2375]

The washers should work and you can also get the spring washers, they work really good together with flat washers, but if they don’t then you definitely need new bolts and nuts

[@NotBigL]

@@rickytube2375 yeah my car is blowing air straight from the headers right now so I’m gonna try to put some new bolts

I bought the berk resonated test pipes and it already has an extensions welded on but people say the light still turns on so I was going to be the regular straight ones since they where 5 dollars at Walmart.

Is it raspy

[@rickytube2375]

Not with my exhaust, but it depends what exhaust you run.

[@torvarrisevans7846]

@@rickytube2375 am running a invidia exhaust, am trying to decide whether resonated or non resonated berks tp for best performance and sound, any recommendations

[@torvarrisevans7846]

@@rickytube2375 hey bro does it have a deep sound or thin sound

[@rickytube2375]

@@torvarrisevans7846 my exhaust set up isn’t to deep. I’m planning on switching it up really soon. If you want a louder exhaust then I would go non resonated, but if you don’t want any rasp at all then go resonated. They both give you the same performance once tuned. Depending on what invida exhaust will also play into how deep or raspy your car is.
