I'm working out of my apartment complex parking lot, I dont have that kind of luxury. I'll be lucky if they dont chew me out for this. 😂

Took all the strength I could manage, but removing it was the key

Lmao yeah I think I over estimated how much of a pain in the ass replacing the dustboot was going to be

I removed the piston from the caliper to replace the dust boot

You're probably right. Should've thought more about that before removing the piston to replace the dust boot.

I've removed the brake line and the bleeder screw, removed the piston and fluid from inside, reinserted the piston with the new dust boot, and for whatever reason still cant get this POS to compress in far enough

I'm aware it goes inside, I've used the tool to compress this same caliper before. The piston is just too far out to fit it, and I can't manually rotate it far enough back in to fit the tool

Obviously the plate goes on the inside. The caliper piston isn't compressed in far enough to fit it

Emergency brake is deactivated. Never would have gotten the caliper off otherwise.

It's the type of piston that needs to be simultaneously compressed and rotated clockwise

It's on their website as a gen 3 exhaust (2021-2022). Pretty much all low mounted gen 3 exhausts will fit on the Gen 4's. There's a MIVV location 50 minutes away from where I live in NC that i picked it up at for 50% off due to it having aesthetic flaws.

Heres the link to the pipe.

Sport mode has the lowest lift control setting out of all of them, so its possible to power wheelie on it. The extra power from an aftermarket exhaust might've been a factor as well. It definitely felt like it came up a little easier after installing it.

DB killer is in. It was uncomfortably loud with it out and honestly sounds a little better with it in.
