X metal T/B

Be careful with installing the screws for the T/B blade, I did the Locktite and scoring and it still sucked the screw threw the intake " this was after 3000 miles with X Metal T/B " causing $6,000 repair job. I ended up using a press to make sure they would never come out again, unless i grind or file them off

I'm slated for PSI tomorrow. I'm sure Blaine will do a great job on the install and tune..

Most never have the any problems after installing ported TBs (Roe & XMetal)......problems are just "louder" on the forums....I had no problem at all with my Roe TB...dont know if it added power but it sure felt better..

I would agree. I can hear it sucking the air as well. Does feel like it pulls a little stronger though. Its worth the $360 I paid IMO and certainly looks way better than the stocker.

The 266 loctite is the shit. Heavy duty, heat resistant, and works on multiple surfaces.
