Exhaust hangar removal tool definitely comes in clutch, no more wrestling with stubborn hangars

I wish I ordered one before, it was a circus show trying to get them off lol

For everyone here who is looking to get the exhaust hangers off. White lithium or Silicone grease works great, the white crap or clear crap. a flat head and the little silicone will work wonders on sliding those exhausts off. Plus the Sil-Glide stuff works in a temp range of 500 - 3000 degrees, safe for the exhaust heat and the rubber bushings won't degrade. As for the tomei... fk8 tomei's are made by tomei USA not Japan, I guess the stuff that comes from Japan is packaged a whole lot better. The tomei has lots of drone and is very loud. However, it comes with a tailpipe silencer that does a decent job of removing much of the painful drone. I will say with a factory cat and the dual muffler, it is tasteful and enjoyable in my opinion. I have the Type R style and purchased the single exit muffler after the fact. No regrets. I still love my Tomei, the weight savings are certainly noticeable when combined with lightweight wheels you can shed almost 100 lbs on your FK8.

Thanks! I’ve got the Prl intake paired with Prl titanium turbo inlet

Large channel lock pliers work well on exhaust hangers. WD-40 always.

Absolutely, not sure why but we had none of those in the garage haha

Damn brother. I’m looking into the same exhaust for my Type R. Is it obnoxious on the road though? I do alot of roadtrips so I don’t want the exhaust to be too damn loud when I’m crusing on the highway. (I usually got people in my backseats)

The drone is really bad at highway cruising speed, I think my ears would bleed after an hour. I’d probably recommend HKS or Blitz. I’ve heard both of those have close to no drone. (Blitz is a little louder than HKS.)

im ngl, this exhaust setup sounds almost identical to my 10th gen LX except I got a flowmaster DBX replacing my resonator and I deleted my box muffler. Very Nice👍

That’s sweet! It must sound great

shipping damage is the fault of the shipper/vendor (insufficient packing) and the carrier (careless package handling). for a person who seems to do a lot of exhaust installs, your methods need some work.

@@K03sportThe sound and brand in itself is great. Just a play on words because this particular one came damaged (waited 14 months for backorder) and it was a PITA hammering all the slip joints to make the pieces fit as it should. Not a big deal but when you pay 2 grand and wait so long you wouldn’t want to tolerate inconveniences like this.
