Hi folks,
I have been lurking and researching for so long on this forum and I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Delkevic full system with 13.5" Titanium Oval Muffler for my Connie.
The installation was pretty straightforward and I took my time to remove the stock headers to make sure they did not scratch the radiator fins. Removing the upper radiator bolts also helps in providing a couple inches of space to put on the new headers and tighten the screws down. Based on what I have gathered, the bolts need to be tightened to 13ft/Ib but I don't believe anyone could actually fit a torque ranch and properly torque the bolts without taking out the radiator.
Once everything is done, starting up the Connie with the new exhaust for the first time was like opening up a Christmas present when you were a kid. The sound was so amazing !!! The low rumble during idle and it wakes up when you turn the throttle makes you smile.
I noticed a small leak at the join at the down pipe and I probably need to apply a sealant and retighten the clamp.
The next thing on the list is to get the ECU flashed. I heard a lot of good words about Ivan's Performance and would give him a call for pricing and how soon the turn around would be if I need to ship the ECU. Any thoughts ?
Cheers !!!
