    I gained about an inch of ground clearance! The angle and rigidity of the GRIMMSPEED v1 took the tail pipes down pretty low. I'm diggin' this ETS pipe!

    Was told to do this to get rid of the Cel that comes with good ol GS... I have the older one tho they dont seem to sell anymore. lol of course... Ordered some 02 spcers, hoping that helps
    Any tips or help would mean a lot as I dont currently have another $1000 to spend on a new j pipe. lol im stage 2 e-tuned with and Big SF intake, GS 3port, GS Turbo Inlet/ catted DP, an Invidia r400. and i cannot seem to get rid of this cel( usually 420's are fun.... But not this one!)... I know it has to do with the Downpipe and 02 sensors. but The tuner I was talking to wants me to also buy a new DP AND a tune. When shouldn't he juts be able to fix this through a tune??? My current Tuner is MIA as he is apparently sick and not responding so im kinda shit outta luck. and cant seem to find a fix that works. If the spacers i have coming dont work, i may get one of those 90s

      I was pretty bummed that I had to replace the GS v.1. COBB'S green speed initiative cost me a new pipe and a new tune. It turns out that this pipe is better overall and I found a superior tuner...but ouch$$$
      Try the sensor without the spacer if you can. That'll save you a little cable management hassle.

      It's best to get a custom tune. I'm getting the same fuel efficiency, best stabity, and best power combination with a reputable custom e-tune. An off the shelf tune will miss the mark somewhere could cause long-term issues.

    It wasn’t the clearest in the video as I skipped around but what did you do with the j pipe ground strap. Did you put it on the engine block or on the 02 sensor?

    • @MrCliffWorks
      @MrCliffWorks  Рік тому

      I pinched between an O2 sensor spacer and the pipe. #extremeturbosystems recommends extending it and attaching it to a mounting point if used. They found that it did not affect function or performance of the system, so they did not include a grounding log.

      @@MrCliffWorks Since the Mishimoto doesn't have the Gesi cat and will throw codes, I have to go with either the GS v2 or the ETS like you have.
      The GS is out of stock and their support says its unavailable with no eta on back in stock. I am thinking i will just go with the ETS one. My question is, do i "need" that extra 90 degree adapter for that second o2 sensor after the cat? Also since there isn't appear to be a grounding strap mount on the pipe, where do you ground the stock strap at?

    • @MrCliffWorks
      @MrCliffWorks  Рік тому

      You don't need any adapters. I plan on removing mine at some point. I clamped the ground with the O2 sensor. It's a great pipe, but they do need a grounding lug. If I come up with a better grounding solution, I'll do a flow up video...probably due for a follow up on how things are going anyway.
      I haven't had any issues or leaks with this pipe. ETS knows what they're doing. I had trouble funding a GS v2 also. I would trust theirs too.

      @@EC-ht5og Absulutely, use 6 point if you can. I started with 12 point and three of the nuts came off pretty normal. I used a 6 point impact socket on the lower right nut, but that nut had to be cut off. I don't remember the thread pitch. I recommend a GRIMMSPEED gasket and hardware kit. I would replace any studs that loosen, and all nuts. Their gasket is a perfect fit and does not leak.

      I had a GRIMMSPEED v1 to start. It was loud, but droned enough to be annoying on drives over 39 minutes. I got a lower, better sound when I installed the ETS, but still had a drone at around 1900 - 2100 RPM...just lower frequency and less annoying.
      My system was able to mellow out when I wrapped the pipe. Perfect now. Every system will resonate at a different frequency, so you might have to do some experimenting.
