I was more worried about him taking his components apart....

 

Oh........I'm pretty good at taking things apart.

Getting them back together is another story.

 

looks good man! thats a nice write up also, thanks!

 

Nice writeup... great pics. I'll add it to the diy list now.

 

OK, I would if I could.... system wont let me. Can you pm me a link to this thread, I'll add it when I'm allowed to (no timeout error)

 

Did you get any pics of the new one and stock one side by side? What kinda difference between the two did you notice?

Congratulations by the way. Not on getting it installed I knew you could do that, but getting that huge post to post.

 

Yeah, I think I got a couple side by sides. The biggest things I noticed were the inside diameter and the evened flow path (2 x 3 into 1 rather than 4 into 1 and 2 into 1).

 

Let me see if I have that picture. I was taking them on my phone. My wife left the damn camera up in NY.

 

Damn it, I dont have those pics. I know I took 2 of them. One showing the turbo flanges and one showing the exhaust valve flanges. In both, the inside diameter of the ATS is considerably larger.

 

Great write up Rich !!

I wonder how much more of a PITA it would have been had you had an exhaust brake to deal with?
