That doesn’t mean I was sitting there for 3. I got them off then came back to it. I have a full time job. I’m not just sitting here waiting for someone with no life to talk shit on a forum

lol…everyone always gets so deep in their feels when someone points out something they don’t like. CVF DP’s and Thermal exhausts are all built to the exact same size. I’ve seen that combo bolted together countless times with no issues and on the rare occasions things didn’t line up it was generally operator error. The rarest occurrence is actual issues with parts BUT as I said before if you’re mating 2 different companies parts together you need to be ready to modify those parts.

Who fucking cares. My point was they don't have an install video or instructions on their site. The video they reference you to for "instructions" is a dude laying on the ground and skips over the part where any problems would have happened. Keep insisting it's operator error and dick riding for the company that made a change to their product, didn't inform anyone and doesn't provide instructions on their website.

I don’t give a **** what company it was. There’s many DP and exhaust mfg’s…my comments apply to all of them.
If y’all can’t figure out how to install a simple exhaust you need a new hobby.

Love it. I agree, and that's why I go to a mechanic. Spent enough time on my back installing shit, I don't have patience any more to do so and want to avoid these problems.

I’m the opposite. I do everything but warranty work in my garage on a quickjack. I feel fortunate I have great mechanical skills and lots of tools as I owned a tool company for decades. While I am now over 60 and could just pay to have the work done, I find it satisfying doing the work and I know it’s done right. These days though my hands are usually crippled for a day after working them hard

That's awesome. I know how to lose sockets, and can swap out basic parts and shit, but anything advanced, I'd rather leave it to someone that actually knows what they are doing. I'm 40 now, but my hands are not what they used to be and takes me out for a day or two if I work on the car, haha.

Yep! If you're not competent enough to do the work, or just are not able like myself, don't mess with it. I can do little things like installing my catch can, but with arthritis in my back and hands, I just can't turn wrenches anymore. Luckily I have a good mechanic who helps me out with things.
