Shiny Bits Of Metal ROCK!!

Hmm... Weirdly enough this was done last Friday a.ka Labour's Day and YES, I know it's late but whatever lah.I've finally got the mood to update.Even though I wanna update, I've got no mood to talk alot...
SO...
PICTURE TIME!! *And oh, check out my (Dad's) car being lifted up.Pretty, no?*


The back of the car.


ZOMG, its the ugly stock muffler!! And with a tip cover on... It's so "Rice".





Stock Exhaust system.Check out how many bends there are, and how BROWN with RUST it is.






Ok la, not that rusty but it's kinda...RESTRICTIVE AND UGLY."Nuff said.





Oh boy, But here the downpipe is rusty...






And so is the header.DAMN I never knew it looked so ugly under the heatshield... -.-"





See?Pig Iron and its so UGLYY!!!!.....




And finally after a gamillion hours later, the headers and downpipes arrived.Funny thing is, if you look closely enough... The downpipes say sentra N16. -.-"






Anyway, my guess was right.The headers WERE leaking.Check out the black marks around the seals.That means they were sealing! And maybe after reading this, ya'll should call me captain obvious lah.






So after the headers came,(AHAHAHAHAHA*Inside joke*)I thought it would be "COOL" to spray the headers with NORMAL SPRAY PAINT.But it wasnt my fault, "Chiang' (Who was incharge of my car, and is really chun) forgot to inform me that it couldn't tahan the heat.He damn cool though, he decided to tell us when we STARTED the engine.Oh and the reason I wanted to spray paint it?The galvanised/zed steel header had an oxygen sensor or also know as O2 sensor, So as my car is a 'Carby' they welded it and it looked AWFUL.

BABI BLACK.





But you gotta admit, they looked awesome after the painting, the downpipe and header. Right?It's a sad thing though, after a few runs the paint looks like burnt cheese. =(





*Oh -so-glossy exhaust pieces.*





New headers on.Dont they look so lovely compared to the ugly fugly stock headers? =)







And now there's a problem.Notice how close the header is with the aircon hoses? Shit man, I just reallised... I HAVEN'T GOT THE HEATWRAP FOR IT YET.My dads gonna kill me if it bursts and no more aircond.AND LAGI BEST THE WEATHER NOW.






*Welding the downpipe to the "Flex pipe."






*Silencers*





*Welding the silencers and rest of the exhaust*




One thing my dad is impressed with, Is this.Yes, they are the exhaust hangers and they actually REPLACE them when they take the OEM stuf out, unlike some other shops.Credits to them for being so thorough huh?


Ironically, this was the muffler that me and my dad wanted to put.It had this AWESOME deep sounding uh, sound, but sadly the tow hook was in the way...



*Welding on the muffler, notice the bright red G.A.B Absorbers XD*



Its done! And hey, it looks good too.Infact it's soooo good, Chiang is SMILING HIS ASS OFF at the side of the picture!! HAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA. *Ahem ahem..*



*Pwooar*
Ended up using this muffler.Nice still kan? Haha.To end this post, some statistics:
1.It took NEARLY 5 hours for it to be finished.This was because first, I wanted to spray paint the header.Secondly, my parents Nissan AD Resort isn't the most common car around and they had to send stuff from another outlet that had stock.And thirdly, my exhaust system has ALOT of curves (Sexy kan? =D) so it took some time to bengkok the pipes into shape.
2.This was done at XIN EXHAUST SPECIALIST.It is located in Puchong next to Tesco.Call WENG if you want details at: 0125629713, OR 0163462636.Awesome guy, I think hes a forumer from zerotohundred.com.
3.Even though its "Cap Ayam" stuff there IS a performance increase on the engine.(Seems to be much easier to rev and feels like it has more torque.)And on a carburetted engine, thats good enough.If your car is fuel injected it should be even better.
4.Im damn tired, I think I have about 5% of energy remaining.
5.The weather, is getting seriously unbearably hot...
