installing spearco IC and Rennart exhaust..any tips or advice?

tomtom · 05-14-2008, 04:00 PM

i have the Active processor. I am just about to install the spearco IC and rennart exhaust. Just wondering if there is any suggestions or things to consider for install or is it all straight forward.

I also have the Forge Diverter valves...i have read mixed reviews but mostly positive. Will these interfere with any intakes? How often do you need to clean and grease them?

Ps. I will be dynoing afterwards. I currently have 322rwhp and 365 rwtq. I hope for 350rwhp.

The Spearco IC will require some cutting to the bumper...might be a hassle to get to fit right, The exhaust will be strait forward to install, Might want to rent a lift somewhere because it would make it a lot easier.

I think 350 is reasonable for those mods

I've never installed a new FMIC on this car so I can't comment there, but the exhaust install is really easy if you have basic tools and a set of Rhino ramps. It would help if you had a friend help you out because the stock exhaust is a single piece, but aside from that its just a few hangers and four bolts up at the downpipe connection that hold it on the car. Its real easy to swap out.
