hahaha ok sorry man here is the thing, i removed the o2 sensor that goes on the spipe and then did the anti fouler mod then put it back on the car. i couldnt get it on without taking the o2 sensor off the car first. sorry about my other post. hope i cleared it up.

and to the braddah that is getting the combo, idk about your exhaust but even with the stock one, the car will sound like ___ IMO. you will need some type off resonator because you dont have no cats anymore.

No problem bro, its just that thats how i got stuck modding "mods" my self lol.
no one told me that the Invidia pipe had trouble fitting the anifouler mod or that the Alpha header needed its "own" brackets to mount properly.
so now i just try to save peeps loot by informing them about what i had to learn the hard way...

I just installed them. Everything fits together very nicely. There is plenty of room for the antifouler.

The DC header with Injen intake has No Rasp at all.
With the S pipe added, it has some hissing sound at low rpm,

Mugetsu

hmm...i wonder if the header itself has to do where the O2 bung sits in relation to the s pipe...

any pics?

onefatcloud

that hissing is prolly the intake or an exhaust leak.

after 200 miles, the hissing is gone, It probably need to break in.

Invidia s pipe, just little rasp when accelerate hard. I love it overall.

you have the stock exhaust too?

GammaTNT

iTrader: (8)

Yes

phoenix_2o1_rising

gamma, did you install the s pipeand everything yourself or did you take it to a shop?

GammaTNT

i did header and s pipe myself.
my 14mm socket sucks. I think inside is rounded. I ran to Sears, they are out of stock.
Home Depot and Lowes don't have 6 points sockets. (people told me 12 points socket are more prone to rounding cornering. )
Pep Boys got the 6 points 14 mm socket. Working great with my home made break bar.





I needed that pipe (and alot of PB blaster)to break the bolts loose. My bolts were rust.

The antifoul sit on the s pipe perfect, There is a lot room.
I don't know why someone said it won't fit.

Mugetsu

Hmm...coud be a few things.

do you have an 07 or 06?
also maybe word got around to Invidia and they changed the placement of the bung.

I know a few people that have the Invidia(including my self) and have had to relocate the O2, because it would hit a part of the suspension whith the antifouler on.

Good job on the install thought.

Ex_sPEC

I have upgraded my daughters new fully loaded 08 TC with TRD suspension, Borla Exhaust, HID lowbeams and Redline Tuning Hood strut.

With the stock exhaust manifold, will the s pipe make a noticeable performance difference?

Mugetsu

Performance wise you will not feel any gains, but it will give that borla exhaust a slightly(ever so) louder rumble.

edit*
to better answer you question, the gains in performance will not justify the price of the S-pipe...now if you were to replace both the S-and MID pipes you would feel a nice lil boost in the higher range.

5 speed or auto?

tonystewart

It is an automatic, my daughter didn't want the five speed.

Also after reading alot of comments, the car becomes rather loud with a header, the reason I didn't already install one.

A young man in my neighborhood has a 07 TC 5 speed with a dc header and an s pipe, but stock exhaust. It is quite loud, can't imagine it with my daughters' borla exhaust on there.
