a few of you guys read my last post about my new o/r x pipe, and i tried installing it friday, but i cant seem to reach the top bolt above the cat (where the stock h pipe connects to the headers)

i called a local mustang shop and asked what to do...."you need a 2 foot long ratchet extension"

do i really need that to install it myself?? i want to be able to install this in my garage on jackstands, but im not sure if i will need a lift or not.
also where oculd i buy a TWO FOOT ratchet extension????

o/r x pipe people chime in!!!! i need some help here!!!

thanks

oh wow thanks a lot dom92880

i had no idea i needed to remove the battery, just disconnected it for the sake of turning off the 02 sensors

 

Yeah, it's really not that hard once the battery's out. Just make sure you use the anti-seize and the Locktite. It only took me a little over an hour to install my OR H-pipe.

 

where can i get the anti-seize and locktite? only auto parts store near me is autozone...they dont really have a lot.

I didn't use any anti-seize loctite/threadlocker.

You do not need a two-foot extension. Just a couple of extensions and a swivel/u-joint.....and a deep socket.

The O2 plug that is hard to reach is hard to re-plug when the OR pipe is on, but it is nearly impossible to re-plug with the stock H-pipe on. When I took my OR H-pipe off I did have to move the battery over to get to the plug. The cats get in the way.
