I made sure the car was really cool before I'd put my hands down there! - cparke 2008-09-25 10:26:33 (22 views)

I didnt get it real hot, just ran the car for a minute to heat the pipe up a bit. - Millatime 2008-09-25 10:35:38 (22 views)

Thanks for the info. Did you snap any pics while you were doing it that you can share? - velosouljah 2008-09-25 10:04:59 (20 views)

No, sorry. But there isn't much to photograph. Also, it's tight down there. - cparke 2008-09-25 10:25:09 (22 views)
