Yeah I think I might get the MRT2 axle back then do a custom 2.75 inch all the way. I'll keep the stock manifolds and get an x pipe too.

Anyone know how to pull the plugs btw? Do I just unscrew that bolt near the top of each cylinder and pull it out?

Yup! I would first unplug the harness that goes into each, the plugs are kinda long, if you hear a "pop" sound don't worry it is just from the pressure release from the plugs.

Sweet, mad easy and they all look real accessible. Which one is number 5? Thats the code that kept popping up, gonna check again to see if it might be other cylinders too.

And how do you check out a spark plug? Like what do you look for?

I have no idea which would be #5 haha and no clue what to look for.

When looking at plugs checks the porcelain around the top of the plug for cracks and check that they aren't black (like as in full of something that would look almost like soot). Im sure if you post pictures here we can help you make a judgement on them.

Woooo! Installed black ice-o-lator this afternoon. Really went very easily, the flex head 13mm ratcheting wrench made the rear bolts a cinch! And, as others have said, it makes the intake manifold cool! after a 45+ minute drive at interstate speeds, I could comfortably leave my hand on the manifold, no problem. A far cry from the temps it was at when starting the install. lol.

Got cha, I'll take pics too. Going outside to do this soon. I reeeally don't want to but whatever.

I have to though because these misfires are either the plugs or the cats. I think I can eliminate an air leak because its been 500+ miles since I put my manifold + spacer on and it just started misfiring 50~ miles ago.

I'll take pics of my exhaust set up too because I have a feeling they won't warranty it...

Yeah dude I wouldn't even attempt that install without that flex wrench. The car will pull all day with a spacer. Makes you wonder why engines dont come with them stock...

When you installed your manifold did you use another gasket surrounding the spacer or did you use RTV? if you used RTV there is a possibility that it could have loosened up and started to let air through as RTV is not permanent just a temporary thing. Also have you made sure your bolts are tight on the manifold? There is a possibility that they could have gotten loose also. It doesn't hurt to check both the RTV and bolts.

Also i highly doubt your exhaust would get warrantied since you removed the rear cats.

I wish but it is right about when school is about to start back up and is a very far drive for me.
