So I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re referring to. 1. I did remove the sound symposer entirely and capped it at the firewall 2.

Hey just to clarify, the ez tap is reverse threaded so you use hand tools to back that in counter clockwise. Then do you keep going counter clockwise to back out the spark plug threads?
