So I installed the H-Pipe today, and its a mess...lol

Measured according to instructions, made the cut. Lined the H-Pipe up with the resonator and the H-Pipe was a few cms longer which I thought would be fine to install.

Installed, and for some reason, its shorter. If it goes flush into the OEM clamps the other side does not even go over the exhaust. Tried everything and for some reason, the H-Pipe is shorter when installing but longer when lined up with the resonator on the ground, boggled my mind.

So i needed to take off the OEM clamps, put them onto the H-Pipe, get the other side over the exhaust and then muscle the H-Pipe into place and slide the OEM clamps over but needed to leave them out of their original position so I was able to tighten all the clamps and have some pipe atleast to go over the exhaust pipe at the rear.

Anyway, its on, sounds absolutely incredible but taking it to the shop on Monday to get things taken care of, most likely just get it welded in place. I just dont like that its not fully sitting the way it should within the clamps/pipe.

Just got back from getting it all sorted. The shop took everything out, fixed it all up and installed again. Had to flare the H-Pipe a little at the cut out end for it to fit but its all properly installed now with larger clamps then what it came with originally, very happy with the work.

Ill get a vid up later when the baby wakes up...lol

Worst video ever due to Android Auto kicking in and stopping the recording....sigh.

But I also have an issue now that I cant select exhaust modes.

Washed the car today and got to use my new glass cleaning toy. I saw it on S550 facebook site recently and thought I would give it a try. $27 from Supercheap. It has a flexible head and worked great for getting right down to the base of the rear and front windscreens. It comes with two removable microfiber cloths but I only used one to clean the glass and a separate hand held microfibre cloth to polish off. I guess the idea is to change the supplied cloths to do the polish but I thought that was too much work when going around all the windows. And besides, the gizmo has a sponge pad under the fitted cloth and I thought that may have gotten too wet to allow polishing. The brand is Invisible Glass.
All in all it was easier than being a circus contortionist in that back seat.

Just picked up one of these Peter,hopefully my contortionist days are over as well.
