Hey, so i just got my new exhaust and iam getting started on it right now. I searched but did not find anything. So how do you go about removing the old exhaust bolts? Ive tried by they are stuck on there pretty good and don't really wanna give up. Any tips would be awsome cant wait for the new exhaust!!!!!!! thanks

stuff like this, im not saying buy that, im sure uc an find something at walmart.

 

if you are replacing the old like I will be as soon as my new exhaust gets here....cut or grind the old off....

 

Which bolts are you talking about? How much of the exhaust system are you replacing?

Unless you're talking about where the downpipe meets up with the manifold, use an angle grinder.

 

Check my sig...the entire system is going bye bye...

Thanks for the tip...

 

if u dont have a grinder, its just better to get the liquid stuff, grinders and blades are kinda expensive

 

They are stuck as in you broke the head off the bolt or its just stuck? If its just stuck get some WD-40 or PB blaster and a breaker bar that usually does it.

if you need a grinder to take off the bolt, chances are liquid spray aint gonna do **** to it.

he doesnt need one, people were suggesting to just grind the bolts off instead. and grinders are costly, its just easier to get either the liquid stuff or even what nail05 said, and get wd 40 instead of buying a 40 dollar grinder

 

my little dremel w/ a few cutting wheels did the trick for my car...

get stainless steel bolts for the header & use a good soaking time w/ PB Blaster (~$4.oo from Walmart) for the old header bolts before attempting to break them loose... dab a small amount of anti-seize on the threads of the bolts & don't overtorque them to the cyl head...

the bolts for the pipe-to-cat-to-pipe connections are optional stainless steel or not, up 2 u, since they're relatively easy (for me) to just grind 'em off the next time...

 

u should try using a breaker bar, the bolts on mai car were frozen but i used a breaker bar, took about half hour for one bolt, but u gotta do it

 

i just used 5 bricks on each side to keep the car up, and WD40 and it took me about 3 1/2 hours to get one off, and the rest 20 mins each once i found a way to make it easyer.

the one bolt on the top thats hard to reach I used the own cars weight to get that one lose. I just got the stock jack under the wranch, and jack it up. it worked out great, but i had hell putting the bolt back on when i was done tho.
