Got it all back together and started for the first time today. Lots of stink coming out of exhaust. I figure it’s burning some manufacturing oil from headers and Y pipe. Do these green cats smell a lot? I’m hoping once it’s ‘seasoned’, this smell will go away. I’m having shoulder surgery next...

I just looked up the Waxoyl product. Do you use the aerosol can or air gun with compressor?

I may have to do that. I wonder if an undercarriage coating kinda like the ones factory applied would work? I always spray out the undercarriage after being driven on salty roads, but dang, these things rust badly and quickly.

I’ve had Deaver springs since around 2016. When I first got them, they told me that the coating they came with may not hold up to winter weather, so I may opt to have them powder coated. So before installing, I disassembled each leaf and had a local shop coat them. Long story short, the powder...

Is that the rear part of the case? How many bearings do they have?

That’s a lot of dough to cough up. I’d reach out to Whipple directly as others suggested. Have the place that has it right now email you a breakdown of repairs needed along with pictures to support their claims. Forward that to Whipple and get their opinion. Bad situation no matter which way you...

Any tips on removing the oil dipstick from the block? I’ve soaked it a couple of times this evening with Kroil and heated the block with a torch. Figure I’ll hit it again later tomorrow after it’s had time to soak. The Kooks instructions didn’t mention removing the dipstick at all, only...

Just found out that these Kooks OEM systems aren’t really OEM compatible. Apparently, it replaces the resonator section and goes straight to the muffler section. I was under the impression it had a ball/flange to connect to resonator. Kinda sucks. I was planning on putting resonator back in...

Well, I just found out from my local Ford dealership that the driver side motor mount is on back order. Ordered these on the 16th, and was told 5-7 days. Talked to them last Friday and was told they hadn’t come in yet. Guess they weren’t really checking on them. Guy said they may not have...

It looks like JLT has updated the screen in their cans at some point. I’ll reach out and see if mine is the older style. That check valve looks nice. I’ll see if I can find one in stock somewhere. Where exactly did you place that in your system?

I think I’m going to leave it as-is. I’ve got plenty to keep me busy for a couple of days.

Anyone know how to drain the oil to change it? The install manual doesn’t mention about how to service the oil, only that it needs doing every 100k miles. Gonna change it while it’s off.

Got started on the install today. Took a little bit to get the supercharger off. I had forgotten how difficult a few of those bolts were to get to. I noticed oil residue at the rear of the blower near the jackshaft. Is this oil blow-by coming through the pcv system? I have a JLT catch can on...

Thats what JDM is telling me. Get the update and re-load tune. I suppose I’ll install the updated hardware in the next few months on mine.

It’s possible. I love the valved exhaust on my Camaro.

I guess I’ll try and get my 2014 updated. I’ve not had any issues yet, so didn’t figure I’d mess with it. I emailed JDM about it to see if I would need a new tune afterwards. Here’s what I got from Jim: “Our tune has it accounted for but you still need to have the update performed at a...

Please update this thread when you get it done. I’m sure I’ll have to have mine done at some point. I plan to keep this truck and pass to my son when he gets his license in a few years.

That’s very true. Did they mention the turnaround time?

That sounds crazy that it would need bearings that quickly. Was the blower ran much with low oil level? I wouldn’t think it would be that difficult to replace bearings DIY, unless it requires some special tools that only they would have.

I’ve got 120K on it. No hard, rough or abusive driving. Owned it since new. I’ll go ahead and get some ordered. I’d probably kick myself later if I didn’t do it. I hope the driver side will be easier if I swap it between removing manifold and installing header. That’ll give me the most room...

I’m debating on whether to tackle this while I’m installing headers. I’ll have the entire Whipple blower off anyway. Another member recommended me to change these out while I’m that far in. Can you say which side was more trouble to do? The passenger side has to come off completely for headers...

I think those in that pic are a 1.50 base , so they’re no good noticed that after I posted. I’ve seen a few online shops with the 1.25 stud in ss, so I may look into those. Any idea how long the OEM stud is? I guess I could go buy one to measure.

Do these look like they would work?

Ended up ordering everything from JDM. I checked that set on eBay and it looked to be pretty old by the part number. Although I think he was wrong, he said that pipe wouldn’t fit a 2014. Now I just need to order a few misc parts that I’ll need. I know it says Kooks includes gaskets, but...

I hadn’t. I hate to buy from an unauthorized seller in the event I have issues and they don’t want to honor the warranty.
