April 9, 2015: Added a resonator, Found an oil leak, Removed hot water supply to TB
At the track I ended up melting the plastic coupler between my Exhaust Throttle and the servo so I ended up just removing the throttle plate all together. On the long trip home I noticed the exhaust was quite louder. Was this from only the removed throttle? Or is my muffler being blown out?
At any rate I decided to install a second resonator. I went with a
Vibrant 1141 2.5" Ultra Quiet Resonator and am very happy with the results. It definitely quieted it down.
I also discovered that I did not tighten the high pressure hose to my factory oil cooler and it was squirting onto the top of the oil filter.
I placed it where the stock CAT goes. Fit in there nicely. It is a straight through design and is very heavy. It definitely has a lot of material packed in it.
My ugly welds turned out pretty good

This is the hose clamp that was loose
And finally I removed the hot water supply to the throttle body. I don't live in Alaska.
