Time For An Upgrade | RC Components Slip-Ons/RSD Nostalgia Velocity Stack

04. Next, he installed RC's slip-on mufflers into the heatshields and finger-tightened the middle hose clamp so it would stay in place. FYI, baffles can be removed or unwrapped for a louder sound.

05. He then mounted the slip-ons, starting with the front, to the head pipes with the black heatshields attached. All he needed to do was tighten down the mufflers to the interconnect bracket, tighten the muffler clamps to the head pipes, and tighten down the heatshields' hose clamps, and pipe installation was done at this time.

06. With the new exhaust installed, Richard was itching to get the RSD Nostalgia stack on, too. He removed the air cleaner cover and air filter. He then took the stock backing plate off.

07. Included in the RSD kit are two threaded inserts that were screwed into the breathers so that the new breather bolts would fit. With those in, we bolted the backing plate onto the breathers with the supplied breather spacers (arrow).

08. With the breather bolts hand-tightened down, the three supplied chrome Allen bolts were then tightened to the throttle body and everything was torqued down to factory spec.

09. Lastly, the velocity stack tube was installed with the supplied chrome Allen bolts and installation was complete. Richard then headed to work and had the Stage One EFI tuning software installed.
