hey whats up guys, this is my first post, and today i got my skunk2 catback and im all excited about the install. me and two of my friends (they've all had experience, who know wut they are doing basically) are gonna put it on ourselves tomorrow. i was wondering if there is anything i should expect during the install. i have looked at the bolts on the pipes and they seem a little rusted, how did you all go about getting them off? if i strip them what am i going to do, this is my biggest fear. we are probably going to jack up the rear of the car and put it on jackstands and do the install from that point. if people would just post some replies on what i should expect or any tips for this install, please it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance, cya

 

use some WD40 and whoever is the biggest let them break the bolts

 

id use pb blaster. have fun

 

u got any air tools? if u do then u'll install ur exhaust pretty quick

 

what is cb blaster?

 

toxic wd40. you love it and rust hates it. found at your local parts shop

 

Good luck and make sure you tell us how it sounds!

 

just make sure you don't stress the o2 sensor wires or you will see a CEL. find something to support it or tape it to something.

 

I had a bitch of a time getting the nuts off my cat. I used almost an entire can of PB Blaster and still couldn't get them. I had to dremmel the nuts off being carefully not to hit the bolt. Took me about 4hrs to get those 3 frigging bolts. Just dremmeled them then took flat head screw driver and snapped the last little bit. I don't know why they have to weld the bolts onto the cat

 

listen to what everyone else has said and make sure not to touch the o2 sensor (the part that actually sits in the piping)

 

hit the bolts with WD40 several times the night before you take the old off.
