Vinny, really looks great! Can't wait to hear the sound clip! Don't tell us you're back at work and won't be back until tonight?

Looks really nice.

Too bad all those shiny bits are all hidden.... cause you know they didn't polish it for free.

I forgot to record a before sound clip. Will definitely do a post one. Sharkwerk's site has a pre and post video.

This thing with work getting in the way of our vicarious existence is getting troubling.

Great thread Vinny! Thanks for the step by step. I'm starting to think Tubi will be my exhaust upgrade when I get around to it. Can't wait for your audio update.

Finally FINISHED installing my Tubi exhaust this early evening!

Reassembly was a breeze! Just the reverse of dismantling procedure. Good news is, NO EXTRA bolts or screws! LOL

Below is a pic of the adjustable exhaust tip, which makes it possible to adjust your tip angle.

Close up of the adjusting bolt

One of the things I found out was, the OEM exhaust tips will not completely fit over the Tubi exhaust tubes securely. I found this out when I started the car and the tips vibrated loose and fell off while idling! Thank goodness that I wasn't on the road! Talk about a road hazard!

My solution was cutting some steel clamp straps (one that you would use to secure a hose onto a fitting) to length and sandwiching two halves between the OEM exhaust tips and its securing clamp. It was basically impossible to insert this within the opening of the exhaust tips. This solution seemed to have worked. Tightening the securing strap on the OEM exhaust tips completely and revving up the engine intermittently for over 10 minutes didn't loosen the tips off the Tubi. Problem solved! I'm sorry for not having a photo. I forgot. My bad.

Next thing is posting my COLD START VIDEO and WARM START with REVS on here. As soon as I figure how to do it.

Awesome Vinny!! Many thanks for posting this thread!! Anxious to get your thoughts on the aural differences between OEM and Tubi exhaust. Ready for sound clip whenever you are!
