Remove the phillips screws holding it on from the backside, and cut the bitch off. Dont bother putting a new one on, you dont need it. But if u really wanted to put a new one on, i remember taking mine off the easy way when i was putting new wheel bearings in and the hubs were separated from the knuckle. Like i said, just leave them off.

 

air hammer the heads of the screws off and then use the air hammer to shred that rattling piece of **** off the car.

air hammer skill are a must however. if you are afraid of the tool you cannot use it properly.

 

tha air hammer rule really only applies to us northerners...those bolts seize and will just shear anyways on our salt belt cars.

its going to go through the stock route sorta. from the axle back angled slightly under the gas tank and then out the stock hole. i personally love how the hks hi power sounds, that or the magnaflow one. i will eventually run the resonator and hks hi power on the b pipe section before the axle and then run the pipe from the axle out to the stock exhaust hole.

Make sure that summa bitch is not to long for you rear or you'll be angling the **** out of to the point to where it looks pratically straight..Like the one pictures above</TD></TR></TABLE>
i already measured it basically and the dimensions of it. no im not a ricer, i dont really like the stock style exhaust. dont worry, if i cant find a suitable muffler shop to do the work, i will do the work myself and order piping from k-teller or another similar company. all i gotta do is mock it up, tack weld it, and my uncle can finish it up for me. voila, instant axle back. metal working is a hobby of mine. i took pictures of one guy that had a white DA at the EF meet at griffith park to make sure it was really feasable. if you want i can post a few pictures of it.

 

something like this but probably not as angled.

right side exit or left side exit.
Right side exit would look better and make for a bender bend and angle IMO.
Plus less piping more of a straight flow design better power high end.
Get a resonator too if you haven't already thought about it. The thing is going to scream. LOL
its going to sound like you have vtec. I remember when I had my fart can on my d15b2 with 2.25 piping I was telling all my buddies I had a motor swap
this was back in high school

i would love to have it exit on the right side. but the hole is already on the left. unless i found a spare bumper to cut and then get it to look exactly like the stock hole (it would be a lot of work though, but it would look good and exactly like stock but with the exhaust cutout on the right side.

 

it's going to look gay. Angled exhausts are so 2003.

Thanks!!!

 

I never liked that angled look, Performance wise, you should be trying to make it with less bends as possible. What I did back then was just flange it right after it goes over the rear LCA and I had a flanged connection with the muffler end. I also had a backup stock exhaust that was flanged as well and curved back to the stock location, when I didnt want to run the exhaust just for daily driving.
I know the cutout on the bumper didnt match, but it served the purpose for performance to have it go straight back and not curve to teh drivers side.
