Longtubes are in!

southfour! · August 4th, 2010, 02:40 AM

I spent all day today working on my exhaust.

I got all the old shit out

got the new longtubes in.

and got the shorty h pipe installed.

i also have a question, both my headers have these on them

now im not sure what exactly these are but my guess is that since my headers are the 99-00 model. that these are for the smog pump that some 99-00 's had.

does anyone know what size these are so i can get some caps. I forgot to measure before i put them in.

are they threaded?

yes, i dont really care what goes on them as long as their capped.

it only has to last a month or so before everything it torn apart for a ported lower, cam, egr delete and windstar swap.

Im not fore sure on the air injection. Is it the same size as the EGR? If you it is 3/4

no they are a bit smaller than the egr, maybe i will just buy every size i can find and then see if one fits.

and you recommended getting a soft metal like brass right?

thanks

Mr. Red Pony · August 4th, 2010, 03:15 AM

Ya, I think I mentioned the before. If it is smaller, try 5/8

Mr. Red Pony · August 4th, 2010, 03:15 AM

I would say weld the hole, but idk.

Those can bolt up to different things... Thats all EGR stuff. They should have one on each...

there were 2 connections on the passenger side, one was for the EGR, and one wasn't used, then there is the un used one on the drivers side.

and unfortunately i don't have access to a welder.

hopefully later today, i dropped 2 of the bolts that hold the headers on and i cannot find them so i have to go buy some new ones today.

i also discovered that the smog thing isnt a 3/4, as i got a cap that was that size and it was too small.

is there anything else that would work?

Drive it to an exhaust shop and just have them weld the holes shut.. Probably be like 15 bucks

probably not lol

the exhaust shops in my city wanted $600-800 to install the longtubes and then another $500 - 800 to fab up the rest. im sure its going to be more than $15 but i will call around.

and secondly, i was taking my back tire off to slide in the tailpipe and one of my fucking wheel studs snapped right in half. is it safe to drive with only 4 lugs on one back wheel for a few days until i have time to take it to a tire shop?

or should i just leave it until my new 8.8 goes in, sometime in the next few weeks?

thanks

Mr. Red Pony · August 4th, 2010, 02:30 PM

rEPLACE THE STUD YOURSELF. i GOT ONE FROM az FOR 1.75 OR SOMETHING.

Mr. Red Pony · August 4th, 2010, 02:30 PM

sorry, damn caps.

Do I have to pull the axel out to replace it? Does the old one just pound out and the new one pound in?

Spurred Snake · August 4th, 2010, 10:12 PM

They are EGR. There are more than one to make them more economical to put different EGR places to be used on different cars... Instead of making one set of long tubes with one set of EGR's then to make one with several.
As you can see with my headers below...
