This looks like the GWR 2.5” downpipe is installed in the car. In your video here you can see that the welding of the flange at the cat/crosspipe connection interferes with the nuts from seating properly on the flange. Many folks have had exhaust leak issues with this crosspipe and it’s becoming clear that this weld interfering with the nuts is the cause. This is a design flaw in this crosspipe. The GWR 2.25” crosspipe doesn’t seem to have the issue because with the smaller diameter pipe the weld doesn’t end up under where the nuts need to seat.
You can run without a tune but you will end up having a check engine light. For optimal performance and to ensure you do not have a check engine light, a tune is highly recommended.
I saw you got a 124, that’s great! So the front sway bar.... cut the old one off with a dremel and install the Karcepts... it’s expensive but worth it lol
I'm watching this during my lunch hour. Thanks Bryan, and of course I'm leaving a comment and a thumbs up for the algorithm.
I don’t own a 124 but I’ll watch your videos anyways lol
Welcome back Bryan
I figured someone would say something... lol

That’s correct - it was what was on the car at the time of install
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance the 2.25" crosspipe is sold as the AT version, could i still throw that on if my car is manual?
@@tRexTay yes you can!
I'm afraid I'm going to get drone!! Did you notice a good amount of H.P.? Also did you tune it after? Thanks
No drone at all. Yes the car was tuned so the CEL would not come on for the catalytic converter
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance Great job on the video, didn't know how many pieces have to be touched!
Looks like turbo, WGA and BOV as well.
I assume a tune is required afterwards

Now if you need a donor car to do a front swaybar install video ;) ....

Bruh there’s no coolant in that reservoir.
It was filled off camera. This video is a variation of our turbo install video.
@@NGENCustomsandPerformance understood, thanks.
