Have to melt the rubber out of the ones for the subframe and cut the metal collars and peel them out. Ive used the same "burn and cut" technique for other stubborn bushings before though. GL

Garbage freight 20 ton for the strut bushings. I used a socket the same size as the outer metal collar but just smaller than the bore.

I ended up doing the burn/cut method, after I got tired of dealing with the press.

I went through 3 cans of PB blaster over a 3 week period just saturating it a couple times a day. When I finally went to replace em, they came right out lol.

Started cleaning out the interior of my eg, going to clean up some dirt from the plastics. Also changed the oil, and in the process replaced my oil pan gasket.

Looks great Deetz
I picked up an RSX-S muffler yesterday, hoping to quiet down the H2Beast! The Flowmaster Dbx is not nearly as quiet as the Flowmaster rep said it would be. I've got a 28" Magnaflow 4" round muffler, an 18" vibrant resonator, AND the Flowmaster Dbx and the car is still "loud." What I'm trying to kill is that highway drone.
With two mufflers, a cat, and a resonator there shouldn't be ANY drone. Drives me nuts. Tired of spending money trying to get this exhaust the way I want it. Hoping this does the trick.
