    Street Pack Brakes Upgrade

    Nothing special needed to bleed the brakes. Can use the two man method or a cheap HF vacuum bleeder. Just don’t let the reservoir run dry. You can’t bleed inside the abs valves without a scan tool to open the valves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Accessory (Serpentine) belt removal and replacement

    Nice. I always replace the tensioner and pulleys when doing the belt. Parts don’t last like they used to and on new cars the belt is packed in tight resulting in cuts in your hands[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snapped down pipe

    Agree with your assessment. Awful clean break.Too cold on that side and he just puddled some metal against it. I’m no welding pro but I did inspect my SPDs before I installed them and to my eyes they looked like quality welds. Fingers crossed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Rotors

    Not many rotors these days worth turning. Minimum mass for fuel economy so they keep them thin. Last set I could cut was 3500hd business truck 20 plus years ago[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    K&N Oil Filter

    Plenty of bad oil filters out there. Anything Fram that is middle of their lineup and up are good to very good imo. I know there was a big problem with their glued cardboard encaps on their low end models. They would blow and go full bypass for zero filtering. Not worth risking that. Having...

    Rotors

    Yeah 15k is low but depends on a lot. My wife can’t get over 25k while I go over 50k[emoji23] Blueing is a sign you are working them hard and getting them good and hot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Downpipes out there?

    I would stay away from any requiring defaulters as mentioned. You can also have them ceramic coated if you want to improve heat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    K&N Oil Filter

    Drop in canister style are all similar imo. Spin on filters really boil down to design and quality. From the bottom barrel Fram with the glued cardboard end cap to a high end Wix it’s really about insurance. If a spin on fails or gets stuck in bypass mode you are just recycling dirty oil through...

    K&N Oil Filter

    I agree with that. Wouldn’t run their air filters (AFE here) but I would have no problem running their oil filters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    K&N Oil Filter

    Good filters. I believe they are made by Champion. Love the nut for easy removal especially the older I get[emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snapped down pipe

    My SPD,s were solid. Had them ceramic coated for heat but they were rock solid before I connected the midpipes. The exhaust seemed to go back on easy with good alignment and no stress points. Will keep an eye in them now. Regarding the op, I agree that if the rest of the cat doesn’t simply push...

    Fluids Change - Need clarification

    Not really. Shifted pretty good with the tune and I change it more frequently than most. I think it’s more about fresh fluid than which fluid a song as synthetic and meets spec. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Fuel Additives

    Yeah stupid name imo. One bottle lasts me 40k miles as it is recommended only every 10k miles. Put some in my eldest daughters Accord with 70k on it and even she said she noticed the improvement[emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
