Taitec Headers / Taitec Center JGTC Center Exit Exhaust / Taitec Test Pipes

[ALwAyS4SaLe]

Alright guys through the help of LarryB and some other forum members I was finally able to install the full taitec system. Due to a bad engine mount from the front beam, I had to wait to get the SOS mount and baffled oil pan with gasket to come in. So it took a little over a month to install everything due to time constraints. Here are some clips..

Here was what you shouldn't do when you are excited to to start your car..

My car has been on jack stands for so long I completely forgot it was even in gear. Luckily for wheel chucks on the front wheel. Other wise it was have ended up in the house.

If you car ever smokes like this, don't worry because of the vast amounts of Sea Foam deep creep I used to get the bolts off. (I was reassured by LarryB it was normal). It stopped smoking after it burned off all the excess stuff.

Absolutely love the center exit. Congrats! Sounds good.

Will you be installing the Taitec diffusor as well?

I actually already have it... I just need to figure out how to install it so that in order to remove it I won't have to take off the rear bumper...

Big fan of center exit. Congrats. One day I will get one....

If It helps you. What I did was to buy new stainless bolts and locking nuts (3) each side and (4) along the metal support. I did not use the rivets that came with it. I drilled the existing holes larger to fit the bolts so all I have to do was unbolt the center panel and slide it out from the rear of the car to work on the exhaust or whatever

I think I saw one of your posts regarding the bolts for the enter piece... That is definitely a necessity... I'm more focused in the sides if the diffuser... Got any pictures of the bolts for the side supports??

 

[chudson1549]

No pics i used the stock flush screws and mounted it like oem. If i need to remove them i have to take the bumper off.not sure of any other way to mount it

How do you like the sound under wot? Ive really been wanting this setup....its just so damn expensive lol

 

[ALwAyS4SaLe]

Havent gotten a chance to drive it yet as I am waiting for some much needed maintenance to drive it... I know I'm anal, and trust me I'm itching... When revving it it sounds beautiful. I can't wait to do some tunnel runs and see how it sounds in vtec. For the price I got the price I got the package for it wasn't too bad... But then again I had Cantrell headers and sis exhaust to offset the price for me.

Kinda sucks to have to cover it up. Sure looks Purdy. I have also bypassed my clutch safety switch. I expect that will also happen to me some day.:redface:

 

[ALwAyS4SaLe]

I'm curious, does my engine sounds like its extra loud? Meaning extra clanking? When I installed the headers I did not take off the AC compressor. It just sounds extra loud for some reason to me. I did just a oil change and oil pan gasket prior to starting the car. ANy ideas anyone? Or am I just being paranoid?

well having a completely open exhaust with headers can reveal some noise that you couldn't hear before like valve tapping and such.

Ive had headers before... Just I added the test pipes... It's just a little more noticeable now... Maybe I just need a valve adjustment. We shall see..
