However, if it needs to be redone then $$ wise you might as well go external setupIt's not ridiculously loud but yea running 18psi+ it will definitely be loud lol. The way the piping works I'm just going (to get someone) to weld a pipe onto the dump just before the flange at the cat with a v band on the end, then put a vband on the end of the screamer then bend a section to go inbetween. That way just 2 v band clamps to put it in and out, and just put like a blocking plate on the dump pipe side when you want a screamerNah didn't install the fuel reg but under the impression it's not that hard. Nope factory boost solenoid. Just run the vacuum line that normally goes to the actuator to the bottom port of the external gate and vent the top port to atmosphere. I did have to buy a larger vacuum line to reach the gate though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was advised on the side of caution being cheap vinyl to take it off after 9 months. Paint underneath was immaculate so just proves the 3m and avery stuff isnt always the only good option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 3m 20d Posted 20/05/15 11:21 PM Author Share Posted 20/05/15 11:21 PM A bit of both. I found it split a couple times pulling off but nothing major, a bit of heat helped it stay together rather than tear. But the main problem was the glue under neath potentially sticking to the paint and/or peeling paint up with it where there was stone chips and stuff. Now of this happened. My front bar and bonnet has a million stone chips and the paint was fine.My car has always been garaged so hard to say the effects of leaving it outside but I would say it wouldn't be great. With this cheaper stuff I dunno if I would go longer than 6 months if the car lives outside just to be sure, it could go longer but you run that risk. If I were to do it again and knowing my car is protected from direct sunlight pretty much 24/7 I wouldn't heistate leaving it on for 18months or more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
