Installing o/r H

[Nitrous]

Okay i'm installing an o/r h pipe on my car right now and i have 7 of the 8 bolts off....the last one is this slut on the passenger side between the exhaust manifold and the h pipe....anybody know what the trick is to get this off? you guys use an impact gun?? even for that it is such a tight squeeze in there for it to get in there???

[G35-Jat]

extension and swivel that bolt is indeed a bitch.

[jonathan]

swivels, extensions, another hand up top if possible with a wrench for the other side,

wd40 is your friend also.

[G35-Jat]

yea i had the same problem on my cobra that bolt is a bitch, i used wd40, and a ratchet with a long extension swivel on top and deep socket.

[Peter]

if you have a butane torch or something heat the bolt up it will loosen it better then wd40 would but also put some wd40 on after

[j-roc]

Mine came off no problem. ;D Soak it with WD40, then soak it again. Then go for it.

[Nitrous]

i got the bolt off but that isn't the problem...i think it is a 99+ o/r h pipe :'(

[Peter]

didnt it come off a 97?

[Nitrous]

didnt it come off a 97?


yes that is what i was told.....but there is no fuckin way it fits...and i just spoke to some guys on mustangworld.com and they are telling me that it is for a fuckin 5.0

everything was in there perfectly..its just that one side was leaking like a mother fucker because you can't match up an oval with a circle...here is what i am talking about...my stock one beside the o/r one

ahahahahah.... :-*

[Peter]

the mil elims look like fire crackers

I know what will also solve your problems, a set of headers unless you already have

[j-roc]

Headers will have the same oval flange. ;)

[Nitrous]

stop whining, clean both mating surfaces with wire brush and brake cleaner, let dry, put high temp rtv orange on the flat part of the flange, then bolt it up, wont leak



Paul do you know what year they are for???? and if i put that stuff on it i still want to be able to take it off and put my stock h pipe on....wouldn't it be easier just to go to best buy or lordco and get the proper h pipe??

[j-roc]

My BBK shorty header has the oval flange on the one side. I assume most would.

[Nitrous]

i just ordered a flowtech one so i am assuming that one will be oval??

[NicK]

Don't asume, ask. :-\

[Nitrous]

Don't asume, ask. :-\


i am asking...nobody is answering?? lol

[Nitrous]

my stok one was oval, flowtech was round, no problems



should would it actually be round a flowtech one for a 97 gt????

[j-roc]

My Flowtech X has the oval aswell.

[Nitrous]

My Flowtech X has the oval aswell.


nice there h better be as well

[Nitrous]

really??? shit i ordered one at lordco for 230 plus tax....was cheaper than best buy...should i just not show up since they dont even have my number or what should i do??

[Nitrous]

lol enough bs just tell me :P

[BrownBrosPerf]

you should also heat shrink those crimp connectors on your O2 sensors. I HOPE those arent O2 sims like someone else stated. they sure wont work so good on the front O2 sensors :-\

[Nitrous]

haha they are like plastic connections that you would normally use for speaker wire or somethin....are they gonna get melted to shit or what??? i had to modify it to try to get that other o/r pipe on so now the wires are cut for the 02 sensors..will the wires melt?? what should i do??

[BrownBrosPerf]

they wont melt, the connectors are fine, it just needs some weather proof heat shrink to stop moisture from entering, the computer needs their signal to control fuel so corrosion will fuck the signal. Not that it will ever get driven in the rain eh ;)

[Nitrous]

lol well its my everyday driver so i will be driving it all the time rain or snow...well not snow if i can help it...but what do you suggest i put around it?? i'm assuming electrical tape would just melt?

[67newf]

Yeah its for a 97 but i thinnk that one has a flaw cuz it was installed on two different cars and they didnt keep it

[Nitrous]

it is not for a 97 it is for a 5L!!

[macher]

hey man thats my old h pipe i think, it fit on my mach 1 with no leaks only problem was it hung to low, thats why i got rid of it, just put sum breakable adhesive on the manifold hpipe connection and she wont leak.

[Nitrous]

ya i dunno wtf is goin on.....i am trying to make shit work....EXHAUST WORK IS HELL

[96stang4life]

lol thats y i gettin mine custom made @ acurate.. for 250 bucks on my 96 4.6L. 2.5 inch tube all tha way trough cant beet that:P

[saleensr351]

ok i don't want to run into the same problems with the connctors too! Which brand of x-pipe has the oval connectors?????

[Sky88GT]

i dunno call peter eggy and ask him what he does in these situations


bahaha, pwn4ge
