Installing cat-delete plus JT's air cleaner

[lwrydr]

Yesterday it only took my friend and I about 7 hours to install a cat-delete and the air cleaner. Some of that time as taken up for dinner and we work slow. The cat job was easy and pretty fast to acomplish. But the air cleaner is a whole different story. The actual install of the air cleaner is a piece of cake. Removing the crap that is not needed anymore is a very big pain in the butt. We took of the mirrors first, followed by the the tupperware that is down below by ones feet, followed by the frunk, followed by the tupperware around the lights, followed by the tupperware that goes down the upper side on both sides. Now the poor :spyder2: looked real sad and almost naked. The next trick was to get the parts out of the places they were with out breaking wires and things. After all this was done we had a wonderfull time putting it all back together again trying to find all the screws and pins we took out.

I decided to start it without the trunk on so I could see what it sounded like and proptly got an check engine light. The error codes where P0113 and P2228. Looked them up and they are about tempatures and barametric pressure. Figured out without the frunk on the :spyder2: the temp guage does not work and this turned out to be the problem. I drove it home with no problems and it now has some new sounds that I will have to get use to. Will report on things after I get some miles on it.

Yeah..!!

the trunck has the sensor on it. That little thingy on the right side. Temp sensor for intake manifold temp etc. Hooked back up no harm done but at the next service the tech may wonder why those codes popped up..congrats on the install..!! :2thumbs: even got dinner out of it..:clap:

Do you need fuel management?

With both the cat by-pass and JT's air cleaner do you need a fuel processor? I'm getting a lot of popping and I only installed the cat by-pass. I was trying to avoid the fuel processor.

it's a beast but once complete, it is well worth it

Gotta get me one! CAT deleted but still top speed no more than 96 mph. Mainly the heat relief I'm looking for though

Frunk

Do I have to take the frunk off to remove the air box for JT's air box to go on ?

Effects

Have not changed the fuel processor and from what I have read won't need to because the computer is smart enough to figue it out.

I don't drive that fast (96) so will probably never know what the top speed is. Twice I have gone 105 but that was when I was younger and on a Harley.

It does not pop so far but I only have driven it about 20 miles. It does make a sound a little like a Chevy with a 4 barrel when the other 2 barrels kick in between 4k and 5k rpms. After 5k the sound it settles down.

Removing the frunk makes getting to things a lot easyier to get to stuff.

So far I like it.
