General Buick Tech / Re: Pypes exhaust

« on: October 29 2015, 04:38:36 PM »

I installed the Pypes exhaust about a year ago, It came with lag bolts as you said. I just ended up leaving my old Hooker exhaust tailpipe hanger bolts in place, and yes they are longer and fit great. I didn't have any problems with the length on any of the pipes tho.
I used the stock factory clamps and rubber isolaters to hang the mufflers as my factory hangers were in great shape still.
Just had to make up my own catalytic converter hanger or test pipe.

Anybody have a 3" test pipe they wanna sell. Must fit a 3" downpipe. I think it has to be about 13 or 14" long.

I changed over to the 98-05 2wd Blazer dual piston caliper brakes with slotted rotors, premium ceramic pads, and stainless steel brake hoses. This made the car stop much better than the stock brakes.

The Autopal H4 housings are a "good quality" H4 housing as far as cutoff and light distribution. I have yet to be flashed one time with the D2s hid conversion. I pass the "law" all the time. And if it matters, I am using the 6000K bulbs.

There are a couple ways you could go about the high beams, I see alot of "bi zenon" kits that have hid "low beam" and a "halogen" bulb for "high beam" I think I would prefer this choice as the hid takes a few seconds to ignite to "full brightness" Good point brought up about the quick flashing of the high beams also.

No it's not the "biggie" adapter.

I used to use AC PF-52 oil filters, back in the day, now all I've been using is Napa (gold) # 1036 which is equivalent to the PF-52.

What did you do with the rubber cup? Looks like it needs to be cut to fit the D2S bulb adapters

Take a utility knife and open up the rubber cup, I kept trial fitting it until it fit over the D2s adapters nice and snug. If you open up too much, don't worry, just take some RTV silicone and smear it around the rubber cup. I used some clear silicone for a nice tight fit.

Those two weatherpack 2 pin connectors above on that harness, they snap right into the ballast to power them.

Yes, the picture above is the correct H4 harness connector. Nice price to!

Thats the harness that I used, but in the picture they're not showing a H4 connector, the picture that you posted above that one is what comes with the H4 relay harness. That looks like a 9006 connector in that pic on the harness they are showing.Make sure you order a harness for a H4 set up!!!

Also when I received the harness, I had to open the end of the H4 connector and swap position of two pins to match the " stock headlight connector pinouts". And yes, the "fuse" and 40 amp relay are included!

My hid kit from them did not include those wire connectors either, I thought they forgot to put them in the box also when shipped. But because I ordered my hid relay harness seperately, the harness had the ballast connectors on it along with the H4 male connectors to go in the stock headlight wire. Otherwise I would've been in the same boat with you.

I'm not to sure about that, those phillips and osram hid bulbs can be expensive! I can probably buy 5 or 6 sets of the cheaper ones compared to one of those. I'm sure some of these bulbs last longer then others tho. I know of people that have been using these lower priced bulbs for over 2 years now without any problems, guess I'll just have to wait and see.
