Tony downpipe and fm/bowser heat shield?
anybody have the 2 of them working together? I did my tony dp today and can't really see being able to use this heatshield without too much modification because this particular dp i have has the o2 bung kind of sticking out the top and it's also very close to the brake proportioning valve.
On a sidenote, it was a good day today, got the tony dp on without having to remove my manifold and turbo! also replaced my test pipe with a resonator. Even with the bigger dp the car is SO much quieter, i'm very pleased with this. Also the car runs a lot happier. at 10psi and running so rich that it's shooting black smoke, it's dead even with my friends 06 CLK 350.
the test pipe flange does rattle a little against the ppf but nothing a little grinding can't fix. For some reason with this downpipe the rest of the exhaust had to be taken off it's hangers and rotated for all the flanges to match up and now where i had my buddy weld on my wideband bung before the cat it's at an angle now that i don't think i can get the sensor in.
