Good luck with getting a sleeve made to couple them both. Very very keen to know just how obnoxious your setup will be.  |
Cheers mate. Will do.
I made my first attempt to fit this axle back. In my view, I did not see any significant gaps between the midpipe and the Remus link pipes. Where I hit a snag was, those damn exhaust plastic hangers wouldn’t come off. I didn’t have the removal tool and I thought I didn’t need one. But then I am not a muscular guy. Somehow got those four pesky things and then realised there were no springs for the actuators. By that point I gave up. I am fairly amateur when it comes to these installations but I still think this is a two man job.
Man that rear box is heavy. It needs a blood hoist to lift it up.
So in short, it was the actuator adapter or springs that proved the rate limiting step for me.
What I also noticed is that man those link pipes are a bitch to connect to the Remus rear box. Whichever angle I turned them, then just won’t sit flush. I ignored this and clamped them anyway but they were moveable when fully connected and screws were tightened.
I think I should let a professional install this one.
I am 100% this will be horrendously loud but I need to hear it. It will be a tough decision for me to give up this or the midpipe.
