Go take a look at this thread. http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/41683-top-speeds-cat-back-system-installation.html

For the C pipes, you won't need sealant or a gasket, just takes some fiddling to get it right.

So you can see that you will need a 15mm and I would recommend a 13mm deep socket. Makes life easier. I also used some open ratchets as well. Harbor Freight is your friend

Regarding the C-pipes as well. I found that shoving them as deep as possible won't seal up anything. Really does need to be tinkered with to find that "sweet spot".

I hate slip joints with a passion.

Installation complete! Everything lined up perfectly. Getting the old "boat anchor" out was a beeotch though. The new one went in like a virgin on prom night. Thanks Che.

I have only warmed it up then driven home 2 miles home from the garage. Does it break in and get more mellow after awhile? I'm asking because I had done the 'ol drill in through the tailpipe mod and my stock sounded louder. I do notice a small bit of fiberglass coming out though already.

Yes, it does take some break in, at least 100 miles. I still get some fiberglass. Good excuse to go drive Glad you got it in with no problems

Minimal problems...no blood though. I must have done something wrong.

Go to the area that you want to start a thread such as "General Discussions" and under Forum Tools you will see "Post a New Thread" from the drop down menu.
