RE: exhaust install

as previously said the top passenger bolt is a killer. the stock exhaust manifolds are waaay up there. gl if you do it on your own.

RE: exhaust install

what i liked about my aftermarket H pipe was it moves the pass. side front 02 sensor back 3 or 4" so it's not crammed up there

RE: exhaust install

$70 is a pretty decent deal for catback and midpipe.

RE: exhaust install

Place your rear stands under the frame and let the axle droop...it'll give you more room to maneuver the pipes around. A little lube on the hangers will make your life a lot easier as well. They were the only hard part on my exhaust.

My borla catback just came to my door today. I'm really really excited. I'm just waiting for my BBK O/R X pipe to come in aswell and then I'll be ready to install it with friends. To those of you who know and have done it before, how hard is it to install a catback and midpipe? Will I be able to do it ok by just ramping up the front and putting jacks in the back? I want to be really careful about this, dont want anyone to get hurt. If it's a real pain in the *** then I'll just have a local car modification place do it for me.

If you can get acess to a good Impact, a foot and a half of extensions those header/midpipe bolts are no problem. Mine got them all the way off withing seconds of pulling the trigger.

RE: exhaust install

Thanks a lot guys. I'm sadly still waiting on my O/R X as the Stingers sit in my living room all lonely. Should be here either later today or tomorrow.

RE: exhaust install

I tell ya, I just installed my bbk xpipe. It was time consuming. The manifol bolts were hard to get off. so were the O2 sensors. But I used PB and it worked just fine. The only problem I had was the driver side front O2 sensor not reaching to the drilled hole in the x pipe. but i fixed that but taking the connector off its mount and stretching it.
