Default RE: Installing Mac O/R H tomorrow

I got it off w/o taking the starter off. Turns out the passenger side was the easy side.... I got the old H pipe off finally. I just ground down a deepwell 15mm and that allowed the U-joint enough room to finally turn. Got the new one in and in place. Got the passenger side cranked down tightly. Went to crank down the driver side and the nuts were stripped. There were 3 different types of nuts holding the stock h-pipe to the manifolds, I didn't really think anything of it when I was taking the old h pipe off because I just thought that the Ford engineers that designed this exhaust system were ********... So needless to say, i'm cold, bleeding, sore, and all I have to show for it is a massive exhaust leak cuz whatever dumb *** that owned the car before Mario monkied his exhaust all up. Anybody know any good exhuast shops around Charlotte NC, that would be "cool" with working on a car with no cats? I told mario that they could probably find a new nut or possibly rethread what he's got to fix that exhaust leak up.

Man that install was gay and I didn't really do ****[:@][&:]

Well off the H-pipe is definitely an interesting ride[&:] Got that **** scraping the ground when I hit a damn speedbump or any potholes. I have an exam tomorrow then I'll go and get the exhaust fixed up. That should make for an extremely "fun" drive to school. Went to the Chinese food place down the street from me and had everyone looking at me like I'm crazy[&:]

It actually did but it wasn't as noticeable before.
