Yeah I know. I was just saying you can't dispute a transaction until it posts atleast with my bank.
I reached out to hypermotive to see if they could offer a discount but if they don't reply in a couple hours I'll place the order tonight to start the shipping process and just pay thermals price since it's not bad. Not sure how bad the install will be. Probably going to need to lengthen the car deletes (they have like a 6+8in steel reducer welded to the stainless so I'm going to cut out that entire section and maybe 1-2 inches before the weld to remove all steel from the system. Obviously the headers and the couplings/flanges are steel but the rest of the tubing does not need to be steel. Hoping I don't have to order any 3in tubing to bridge the gap but I might have to. (Tbh I'll probably just roll my own tubing and weld the seam at work because it'll be far cheaper. Won't be 100% round but I'll make the ends round enough to fit and seal) We shall see what happens
Save yourself the headache, guys on eBay sell drops of tubing cheap.
Also completely unrelated. But I bought some z26 brake pads to go with centric c tek rotors (all 4 and front and back pads) should I just grab OEM pads? Keep reading on the forums that people have been able to overdrive the z26 pads and I drive my car hard and stop even harder. Many as hard as possible braking events from triple digits when out having fun. Or just stick with it, also I'll check. Out those drops online, I'll also see if we have anything laying around the shop. We have metal everywhere lol
Z26 is good for a budget pad
What pads are better? It's more than 1 single stopping event. Maybe a dozen or more. I drive hard and fast. And often have to engage maximum braking when slowing down. I also have the bad habit of waiting until the last possible second to brake (habit carried over from my motorcycle because braking late into corners is better for speed)
Id look into some forum posts to do some research but off hand i know hawk makes decent pads, but theres a few brands people roll with which all are good
Update, the hypermotive jayman guy hasn't posted since 2023 so I don't think my DM will get a reply, ordered from thermal, order confirmed, hoping it ships out by Friday so it's. It delayed a week. You should see how bad the welds are under the car. It's got wire sticking up and shit around the flanges and whatnot and I hate it. One of these days I'll maybe swap to long tubes and get a refund but until then I'll have to live with it.
Forums posts being up either hawk 5.0 or z26. Z26 seems to come up a lot more though
Theyre great for the price, but hawk 5.0 are definitely stronger. Without tracking, in your budget id try the z26, i had them in my ecoboost with gt brake calipers, they felt great for 130mph to 20mph braking
I've get the brembo calipers on mine. Corroded as hell so I'll probably have to scruff them up and order some g2 caliper paint but they should clean up nicely. A nice deep blue would look great against the black car and graphite rims.
You are right it sounds like shit! You don't have to retun if you chang the exhaust, IMO clamps a better just in case you have to remove the exhaust. I MBRP STREET version
