I can tell you the sound is awesome. Love the compromise with the cats, they are both very quiet when cursing but rip when you open it up and give it the beans.
The smell was a small leak in the cross over pipe, I fixed this and the smell went away. The P0420 and P0430 mentioned above will still pop up now and then. They are easy to clear, but may just be something you have to live with if you do the down pipes, even catted, at least at this point.
On my daily commute this morning, I was pulled over after I had passed a car driving 47mph in a 55mph zone, I had accelerated to 60 to pass the car, it was the only passing zone for 20 miles on a two lane canyon road. I knew the sheriff officer was behind me so I was careful not to go more than...
Looks like someone called him out on his FB post (why is his content public?), his response back was to call them a turd. Well, that turd has a working BW :)
You only need four things to make it fire, Air/Fuel mixture, Compression, Spark and at the right time. It should not be hard to find out which of these is missing.
The issue is with how the manufactures handle warranty work. They wont let the dealership techs diag the problems anymore...
My last good M/C crash was at Spring Mountain in the winter, cold slicks are hard, so is the ground. Got to drive home with my arm in my t-shirt made sling and a broken collarbone.
Beware of cold tires.
I found this as well and aborted trying to jack the car up as I started to see this point flex. I suspect this was for frame manipulation during production.
The bolt that goes through the aluminum front subframe is a solid lift point.
Got the CEL on day 2 at just over 100 miles on the car since the pipes installed. I drive 125 miles / day, so see how it goes the next few days commuting to work. Hope it resets and clears. The new Cats and pipes still giving off a strong odor when hot, so hope they just need to cook a few...
Think I may hold off to do the JB4 until I have the TB, so I can do the TB, plugs and JB4 at the same time. The hard part is out of the way at least. Yeah, it would have been easier with a lift, but duable from the garage floor.
Got the Catted Downpipes installed. Other than it was a PITA, mostly just to disconnect the upper O2 sensors, that was half the battle, going back together was not bad at all.
OMG it sounds good! No CEL yet, but just put 30 miles on it. Got to travel some tomorrow so will have about 250 more...
