One more exhaust swap question
Alright, I just thought of one more to check in with before my Prochamber and cat back get here. If I am swapping both the midpipe and cat back, is it easier to take them both off first, then install them one at a time, and if so, which one first, or does it matter? Or should I do one piece, get it finished, then do the next piece? Having never done exhaust on this car I have no idea how it's setup down there. Just figured I'd see if one way was easier than the other from guys who have done it. Thanks.

mmmm I'd say get your catback off, then the midpipe, then put in the prochamber, then the cat back.
I've only swapped my H pipe though but from doing so I figured if i was to do more that'd be the way to go

Yeah, I know, that doesn't make sense. How would they not have hangers... I don't know, I just wasn't sure and wanted to check [8D]

Doesn't hurt to check! Good luck and once it's in post up some sound clips. 
Be sure to have plenty of PB blast and patience. Where the midpipe bolts to your manifolds you may have some turburlence

Picked up the PB Blaster today after work and also ordered the passenger side flange gasket which I'll pick up probably wednesday before I do the swap. I've been reading all day about every article I can find so I know exaclty how to handle every problem, so I feel confident that it will go pretty smooth. I'll have the sockets and swivels in a tray under the car with me as well as the 3 ton jack's handle to use as a breaker bar. I think I should be all set.

yup, jack up the car on all 4 corners as high as you can. The more room you give yourself the easier this work is to do. I believe you may have to cut your stock cat-back to get it out if you are doing this on the ground
