g-pipe install
Ok so I installed the gpipe when I got home from work. Literally took me maybe an hour.
-Sprayed the bolts with WD40 last night
-Sprayed again tonight
-Loosened the bolts on the back clamps
-Took off the rear right wheel and jacked it up
-Sprayed the two bolts on the inside holding the muffler up attached to the frame
-Muffler came out really easy and was very heavy
-Attached g-pipe to the frame and then matched up the clamps from the primary exhaust to the G pipe and clamped down
-Lined up the exhaust tip and then tightened it down
Started her up and oh boy the groan was quite different. Nice mellow rumble.
I must say it is much louder and not sure if i will keep it on, but I guess gets some getting used to. Really not so much difference at higher rpm's but at idle much louder. Also almost drowns out the nice sound of the high reving engine.
Any other people ith a g-pipe and kep it or took it off?

Let me ask you guys a question I installed the g-pipe and i was just outside to listen to it again and noticed on the rear bumper some brown spots almost like heat melting plastic paint has some brown on it when I look at it with a flash light.
Really unsure if always been like that or not. It is reall a few inches like 6 away from the tip almost behind the priimary exhaust. Does a g pipe make everything else run hotter? I touched the bumber and is warm just warm. Felt inside the bumper but there is a heat shield so that was warmer or maybe hot. i can touch with my hand and hold there. Around the tip it is cool.
Just concerned that I am melting my bumper but the g-pipe is really away from the spot. It might of always been that way. i know the middle on the bumper was repainted by prev owner. I guess just concerned because i installed the new g pipe.

I didn't find the G-Pipe to make a temperature difference. You might check that you don't have an exhaust leak at the clamp after the primary muffler (that sounds about where you were describing). Hot exhaust blowing out that clamp, might cause problems on the bumper cover.......

I thought I remembered reading where the best set up was the cat bypass combined with the G-pipe???
But it seems here that many folks like the primary muffler bypass?
I'm kinda bummed, just ordered the cat bypass and g pipe from Dansk.
