wat you could do is just un bolt the tub from the egr mushroom and have it welded shut so you dont have to worry bout vacuum lines on being hooked up to nothing

My bad on the pricing, it's $5 per sq. feet.

Sucks that your dad keeps using it, he must really like it. :D

Just an FYI Razi, the sandwich adapter will continue to leak. Once you have the opportunity, ditch it.

If it keeps leaking the only sandwich it'll be is a in a junkyard compactor.

It stopped leaking for now, better stay that way.

What other options are there instead of a sandwich plate? A T-connector? I hear those are worse.

Sorry if I missed it but did you ever get to that bolt? I know you said your dad bent the tube but I'm not sure if it fixed your problem.

Anyway I was going to tell you to try and use an offset wrench.http://www.matcotools.com/Prod...T.jpg

Bending the tube a bit helped, and it clears the O2 sensor.

Offset wrench might've done the trick, :D. Will look into it for any future cramped situations. Thanks.

Edit: Me and my dad drove the car on the freeway today, first freeway drive since the sound deadening stuff.

My first impressions are good, my ears don't feel like they are getting pressurized anymore. And on the city streets the sound levels are similar to when I was stock (I had an exhaust leak so it was slightly louder than regular stock s13s).

I like it.

Not many. Just go all out and relocate the filter. Epic win/win there.

Wow, didn't realize a few of you posted in this thread, my bad.Anyways, I don't feel like making a new thread for my 5 lug swap so I'll just post it in here.

Haha yep, they rock.

After hearing my car while my dad drove it, I really want to but my good camera is being fixed , but Canon is doing it for free so it's cool.

Anyways, pics.First, the simple stuff.Swapping rear hubs for 5 lug is easier than sneezing, but getting the nut off the rear axle can be a bit tough.So you use the special patented breaker bar + car jack technique that I use, it rocks.After this, you just undo the 4 bolts holding the hub, I used a mix of breaker bar, wrenches, rubber mallet and my handy tire jack to get some of the stubborn ones loose.Doing the fronts were okay, just took a long time. No pics of doing the front.

Anyways, this is how my car looked before. Dirty stock SE wheels haha.And now.Yeah yeah I know, wheel gap.Before, the gap was 2 inches from the top of the tire to the fender.On the same wheel, after the swap, the gap is much smaller.I shoulda measured from the top of the sidewall or something because that's what makes the gaps look the way they are in my opinion. I don't know.

Looks good in person, of course it doesn't look like those awesome S13s we see in the "Best looking S13" thread, but it's my daily driver and I'm fine with it.

I saved the worst picture for last, it's blurry and the lighting sucks.

Yeah, someone should donate me some coils. :DMy 5 lug setup is Z32 rear hubs, S14 front spindle+hubs+lower control arm+ball joint.

I was gonna be super ghetto and use my old lugnuts and just add a lock to each wheel, but instead I got some lugnuts from Gorilla and I like them, very nice product I think.

I now need a 5 lug spare tire.
