hey guys I just picked up a used apexi n1 full catback exhaust last night. It has some minor scratches on the axelback but nothing sevre I hope. Consider me a n00bie at any type of installs (only mods I have installed are shortshifter and aem short ram, and other DIY mods) Anyway I didnt receive any bolts or any other necessary hardware, is this normal? Would I have to use my stock bolts? Do I need any type of gaskets? Im so anxious to get this installed on my car. Ill probably end up working on it this weekend. I just want to know what troubles I may face ahead of time. I also want to get everything I need before the weekend

PS by any chance does anyone have a site that shows an exhaust install guide. Just showing jack points.. just general information etc.

 

well i just put mine in last week, as far as i know,you can use the old bolts but youll need two 2.5 gaskets for the parts to connect, thats it. good luck

 

tools
a 2 ton jack
car jacks
socket wrench and wrenchs from 9mm to 14mm
wd40

parts needed
2 gasket, try kragen
stainless steel nuts and bolts (change them so you won't have any more problem if you want to take them off in the future)

 

:-D any others .. hehe

 

remember to bend up the heat shield so it won't rub.

 

Have fun with the 3 bolts connecting your exhaust to your cat.... You will prob end up cutting them off and just getting new ones

 

I have greddy sp, I went under the car myself and it didn't rub anywhere when I did the installation. Does it apply to some other exhaust systems?

 

I think im gonna head down to home depot tonight.

Does anyone know the measurements of the bolts and nuts that are required for this install?

 

don't go to home depot, they don't carry any metric bolts and they have little stainless steel selections. go to your local hardware store

and I Dont know the bolt, why don't you take them off of your car and bring them to the store? actually I remember they have different measurements, at least for mine they are.
