Is installing full exhaust pretty easy? anyone have any sites that show how to do it??
Thx in advance.

 

simple bolt on. Things you'll need...

1) PB Blaster(autozone carries this)
2) Long pipe to slip over wrench for extra leverage(home depot)

 

3) lots of patience when the bolt is stuck on there and given you hell...
4) more pbblaster

 

It's pretty straightforward. One thing I do recommend is to get some liquid wrench and give every bolt a good spray before you start. Let it soak in and they should all come off fairly easily. Just make sure you take your time, drilling out or cutting off stripped bolts sucks!

Only if i knew that like 3 months ago, I had a pain removing my friends stock exhaust system. I heard Crisco also works well

 

if you are installing just a cat back i would recommend taking off the bolts from the midpipe to the cat first, then slide out the hangers from the rubber things and allow the exhaust to come down a bit, from there youll be able to access the nut on top of the 3 sided flange where the back of the cat hits the midpipe, simply undo all the nuts and bolts and install the new stuff the same way the old stuff came off, i would also recommend a torch and a breaker bar as well 8 or 12 sided sockets, i believe the nuts if stock are 12mm

 

Have plenty of leverage... try using 1/2" drive ratchet or a pipe bar extension and it will be much easier.

 

its pretty straight forward.. bolt off the old exhaust system and take it off the hangers and bolt on the new and put it on the hangers.. soaking the bolts in PB BLaster or some other penetrating lubricant should help... I was able to install my Greddy Evo in my garage using just normal tools (no air tools)..

make sure the car is supported well on jack stands (I had 2 pair and the car was up on all 4's) and then soak the bolts.. let it sit for a while and then you can use your sockets or breaker bar and it should come off.. the only bolt I had trouble doing was the top bolt from the cat/b-pipe because I had trouble slipping the ratchet into the top bolt...it eventually came out though...

 

Here's something I got after the install. Would have helped a hell of alot

Electric powered Impact Wrench 40 bucks, and it works. I used it on a rusty part of my exhaust that I had sawed off due to frustration just to see if it had the power. 240lbs of torque no air required.

not sure about the exhaust bolts.. but that thing wouldn't work on my friends LCA bolts.. we had to do it the old fashioned way... socket and 18" breaker bar

 

don't forget the googles/eyeprotection. its not fun crawling out from under the car to wash out rust and dirt.

 

Oh yeah, also I had to use loctite on my second exhaust since some jerks stole the muffler from my Trust system afer failing to get past the locks on my wheels.
