Default Pipes X pipe

Has anyone put a pipes X pipe on their mustang? I have a 06 saleen with 8,000 miles. The car has never been in any weather. I was wondering how hard it's going to be to brak the exhaust flange bolts loose?

Easy swap. Put the car on jack stands when u do it. Also get a can of Liquid Wrench (avail. At any auto store) and spray the bolts a few times prior to doing the instal.

I had an catless X-pipe on mine for a while with the stock mufflers. Couldn't stand the sound. Anything below about 3500rpm's and it sounded like somebody was shaking maraca's in the back seat.

The install/uninstall was pretty easy though. It was harder putting the stock H-pipe back on.

I sprayed PB Blaster on the header flange bolts and they broke loose with no problems. The passenger side top header bolt is tricky though, I had to use a U-joint socket with a couple extensions. Also helps if you remove the battery and battery tray.
