Why part one ? Because the parts ain't here yet supposed to ship today ..

Ok i searched and read and read and read some more and decided i wanted Vance and hines True Duals but was worried about bottom end.

Well i came across a Kit that turns the exhaust into a true duals and from a dyno run i saw and forgot to copy where it didn't lose any bottom end show 1 more footpound of torque over stock .. im not worried about gain just loss.

So i decided to try this out Basiclly it replaces the rear header and H Pipe.. so it moves the pipes away from you so you lose heat also .. the front pipe stays the same and you get a extension and new header for rear Cylinder..
pics on the kit when it comes in ..

Here is how ya take her down ..

Always Remember to remove youre fuse yada yada.. though i didnt i wanted to listen to the radio on it :)
