Can I install the x pipe myself? Do you have to weld it? If so, about how much was it for a shop to install it?

have to weld in place. Local shop charged about $100 to have it welded. Would not recommend this as DYI project, unless you have experience plus a lift and welder available.

most things can be serviced through the actuator panel, so they tell me. Just installed mine. The hanger seems to be good quality to me. My 3 inch down pipe came down on a stud location, so bottom line 7 hours later all installed. Not difficult just very time consuming in my case.Its going to look way cool though

I have never had an occasion to weld pvc pipe. but if it is clean and you have pvc material to weld with then it should work. but remember that the heat form welding will make the weld joint brittle so I would not recommend it

Nope no welds or cuts needed. Its just a bolt on. Unless of course your civic for some reason had the old bolts that connect to the cat converter welded on, then you will have to cut the old pipe and grind off the three bolts. I bought the car used and am the third owner and for some reason or another somewhere down that line the bolts got welded on and I had to grind them off but that should NOT be the case. Once the old pipe was off though it was a simple and easy bolt on operation.

You would have to purchase a separate chiller unit, as well as a water cooled torch. You can weld metal as thick as you wish, or have patience for.

Hey Kevin, I am a plumber and I don't see why you could not install one or the other. I would prefer not to have a mechanical joint if not necessary. If needed at a later date, I would simply cut the pipe and install a coupling at that time. Hope this helps

I actually had some one put this in for me. My old PVC pipes fit. You my need extra hardware silver ring fasteners w/screws & a possible rubber washer. Take a pic of it and take it to your local hw store for more help. Sorry. I wanted to take a pic of it but was too confusing using gmail �

I dont see why not. Exhaust shop may need to slightly expand the exhaust to have a clean fix before welding/clamping

Of course you can attach PVC to it. Thats how Ive always done it, or the flex hose too. Its just common 2" threaded PVC piece you find at any home depot. Its a slip on the other side so you can glue in a 2" pipe and go from there. Both the intake and the exhaust are the same finer thread.

Yes you can install it they make a socket called a o2 sensor socket that you may have to use but if you have the room to get a 22mm or 7/8 inch wrench in there you can use that also just unplug it first and if it starts to come out really hard spray some lube on whatever threads are exposed and run it back in you may have to do this a couple times but it usually saves the threads but you only need to do this if it locks up while your trying to remove it

It's been a few years since I installed this unit, but if I remember correctly there really is no right or left side install. You punch out a plastic filler piece in the stock and the unit assembles in this area. You then pull a right and left attachment hook down to the cable harness (one on each side) hook on and pull back with both handles, one on the right and one on the left. Pull back until it locks in the cocked position. I have to admit that this was one of the finest pieces I added to my xbow. It works great. J-

No, it's not a bolt-on. It has to be welded on. Piping is 2.5 inches in diameter.

The quick answer is I don't know. However, I would note there is apparently a small tray at the bottom (others have mentioned this). The basic problem I see with not installing the exhaust is where is the hot air supposed to go? You can, I have, have the pipe go out a homemade baffle. I did this since the one that came did not work in my window. Hope that helps.

No clue! Maybe go to manufacturer? If you know someone that welds they might could TIG it!

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

Yes, but you will need a professional or someone knowledgeable to install it as there are wires that need to be attached. Access to the wires is usually under the floor where the outlet is installed. The pipe fits just fine.
