lable right on the bottom of the box

legal for sales in california.

I called summit and DT to make 100% sure. did my research. my entire system SHOULD be carb legal for california. but we'll find out in 2 years.

it might of changed that much you ussually shift at 4k which is safer but you shifted halfway thru your horsepower so reving to 5 might of

Did you install that hangar that holds the tail pipe? I forgot to do this during my cat-back install and it was banging around made an awful sound when I turned the car on. I didn't notice it in the pictures so just seeing if that was done.

Yes, I took the stock hanger out, installed a new, stronger one. its welded to the frame and supporting the tip. more so than the stock one which supports the tail pipe. so yeah. my exhaust tip hangs down enough to clear the stock bumper and not rattle, but yet still holds it strong.

Pics of that? I used the stock hangar and it's already rusting out pretty fast. Wanted to go with another idea.

Good looking exhaust and sounds awesome too!

MaK92-4RnR · 09-29-2009, 11:28 AM

Sure do. The clamp is custom, but does its job. Here it is.

If anyone else has any other questions or things they would like to see... feel free to ask. Camera is available and I can take a picture of what ever

Wes94 · 09-29-2009, 11:50 AM

This is great. Very nice work on the install and the write up. Thank you

You're welcome and Thank you. I spent alot of time researching this and It turned out better than I could imagine

BoostinChick · 09-29-2009, 01:10 PM

^ ^ So, where did you find that clamp from? Looks pretty stock! Great location and research.

MaK92-4RnR · 09-29-2009, 01:18 PM

The clamp was made. Andrew, the guy that welded up my system, fabbed it together when I took it in to get it all assembled. so its 100% crafted by him. heh

Jay351 · 09-30-2009, 05:23 PM

Lookin good! I should get a 0-60 time for my truck.

Maybe i'l buy headers... i love the way it sounds!

MaK92-4RnR · 10-01-2009, 09:05 AM

haha yeah, dude. I spent a fortune but I LOVE every minute of my truck now. 3k+ rpms are exciting... I can hear the motor roar now.

I did a MPG check... didn't put my full effort into it though. im still getting used to the sound and im still not over it yet. I did 253 miles on a tank of nothing but 3.5k+ revs. I was doing that STOCK, but only when I babied it. babying as in 2-2.5k revs. This mod by FAR has a huge change in gas mileage and power differences. just for fun, and not like it matters, but I can hit 100 miles per hour now without going down hill! its so much fun seeinjg the needle move in a fast pace. the truck IS faster, but is STILL slow. So yes, this truck definitely increases MPG ( i'll get a true calculation next tank ) horsepower, throttle response, and sound ( wow ) This is by far the healthiest thing you can do to a 3vze, i'd say. my truck is really opened up now.

EDIT: also! if anyone know any good ISR write ups, i've found a few but feel free to PM them to me, leave them here or on my visitor profile section. Thanks! ( thats the next mod then i'll be done "opening" up my truck)

Jay351 · 10-01-2009, 12:30 PM

No real writeup needed mang

Just get a pipe thats the general size and shape you want (I got the local muffler shop to bend me a peice of 3" pipe with a 44 degree bend in the middle. I cant remember how long the pipe is though.

Drilled two holes for two brass fittings

Got some 3-3" rubber couplers

gave it a coat of paint

MaK92-4RnR · 10-01-2009, 01:11 PM

any noticeable gains from it? I heard with a good exhaust system it provides some nice air flow... got any feedback on that?

sb5walker · 10-01-2009, 03:54 PM

There just isn't as much free power available to grab on the intake side as the exhaust, you may see a little better flow but not too much. Still, it makes sense to do what you can to open it up.

I seriously have header envy now, lol. I do have a magnaflow and that nice Borla sound but wish I had the headers to go with!

I was taking another look at your pics, and it looks like you might have a bit of an issue with your brake lines. They look like they might be close enough to the pipes to get fairly hot, possibly hot enough to boil the fluid and put vapor in your lines. The line to the clutch slave cylinder is worth a look, too, along with the fuel line & return line. I think you might consider some heat shielding - sleeves or tape might be a good idea. Summit carries a ton of heat shielding stuff:

Jay351 · 10-01-2009, 07:15 PM

Defantly move those lines. And be carefull about the fuel lines on the other side. They can burn through quickly!

I didn't notice any peformance gains from my ISR mod, but it really cleaned up the engine bay! Made checking my oil much easier

MaK92-4RnR · 10-02-2009, 12:02 PM

I've bent the brake lines out of the way, Fuel line is already heat wrapped. I'm gonna buy some wrap for the starter though... that is extremely close to the passenger side header... heh

MaK92-4RnR · 10-02-2009, 12:09 PM

any wrap you guys would specifically recommend?

MaK92-4RnR · 10-02-2009, 12:11 PM

Oh, I also forgot to mention. My cat threw a code... heh engine light is on. did it late last night at around 12:00 am.

For the starter, there are wraps made specifically for that - with velcro attachments;
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-350108/
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010402/

Or you could get a bigger piece and cut it:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010462/
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LNG-47842/

Or you could use tape:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-350104/

I think it all probably would work fine, just pick what fits and is easiest and cheapest. I would not wrap the headers - they would get too hot - just what's near them.

What code did you get?

Prob code 69: excessive driving with pedal floored and big silly grin on face.

MaK92-4RnR · 10-02-2009, 02:48 PM

alrighty, thanks. I was jst going to wrap the brake lines, put more over the fuel line, and some over the starter. and call it good.

I was doing 25 in a 35 when the engine light popped on.

How might I check it, do ya know?

sb5walker · 10-02-2009, 06:24 PM

For checking codes, refer to the fsm:

MaK92-4RnR · 10-02-2009, 06:40 PM

Alrighty, thanks for the info. I just bent my brake lines and zip tied them ( not like it'll matter, they'll just melt ) but by the time they melt they should be pretty stuck. they are no longer resting against the header... still gonna buy some wrap for it though... esepcially the starter... feel bad for the little guy under there

lol

your cat probably didnt throw the code. i have a 94 3vze with no cat for the last 4 months and i havent gotten a code. dont know how putting an aftermarket on would be any different.

your idle seems pretty high too mine usually sits at about 1k.
