    The torque converter locked in 3 times when you put it in the trans correct?

    this may be where i messed up
    after i already had it all together, i found out i was supposed to install the tq converter to the trans 1st
    i mounted it to the flex plate first
    i installed same way i took it out, i shouldve read up on it first
    guess i'm just used to mtx's

    and look what came in the mail today
    wish it would have came a few days earlier
    that way i could've done the exhaust only once
    oh well, this thing is really light and it did give me a chance to see if the stock exhaust fits on a 3.5
    now to see if this fits as well. hopefully it will have a little more clearance and not less at all
    one thing i don't like from looking at it is the curve of the pipe from the rear manifold
    it looks like it was put on backwards, so that the exhaust will flow from the rear head towards the exhaust from the front head

    ahhh....the ebay n/a downpipe.

    all the more reason to get a tt conversion; the ebay tt downpipe is better; rivaling any of our platform shops' offerings.

    Ya I was a little confused when you said you bolted the torque converter to the flex plate first. You have to drop it into the trans first.

    how do i seem to be the only person that didnt know this? lol

    well i got the car all jacked up and sitting on stands
    was about to put the new downpipe on when i noticed there was no o2 bung on the new downpipe
    so thats on hold until later
    also, upon further examination, the exhaust is touching, but just barely
    i guess i didn't look at it from all angles last time
    from the passenger side there is all kinds of room, which is where i was when i mounted it
    from the driver side, its just barely touching the lip of the lower part of the oil pan where the upper/lower are mounted together
    i worked more on routing the power cable for the battery relocation, but ran out of time
    ground is done, but having trouble finding a good spot to route it along the passenger side floorboard because the wire is so thick
    so, nothing accomplished today

    maybe i shouldve just stuck with my original plan and did the mtx conversion
    then i couldve sold the upgraded atx and had more funds to play with
    if i dont have some luck with this trans soon, i'm going to do that
    i really want to try out this route tho, i don't think anyone's done it yet

    noone knows what the buzzing sound is? that was leading me to believe it was something electrical
    and how likely is it that any damage has resulted from what ive done so far?

    anyway, here is a pic of the exhaust
    it could probably be bent slightly towards the passenger side and you might not need spacers

    i know who i'm voting for ATX ROTM....

    just an fyi, i've ran that downpipe before. it worked just fine on my stock 3.0L n/a. probably doesn't have as much power as other types of downpipes...but you're not going to really notice the difference.
