I am installing upr xpipe this weekend. I know that I saw a post not too long ago where someone listed the tools and socket sizes needed for this job. I used search but couldnt locate. Does anyone have that info easily available?
Thanks

 

Hey bud heres my thread when i did my exhaust. Basically you just need a extension, sockets,and rachets. I also used a pry bar to get the rubber hangers off. I heated up the bolts on the manifolds with a torch and then turned them with the socket. The heat will make the nut on the stud expand and it should come off alot easier. If you try to just take it off chances are you will the snap the stud. So just heat it up. I also have access to a lift in my grandfathers garage. So that helped out alot. Im probably forgetting some things but its mainly just common sense.

I installed a Pro chamber on mine and the tools needed were 15mm deep socket (6pt is best) many extentions, a swivel head and ratchet. Spray alot of PB blaster on the nuts to be removed the night before and they will come off pretty easily. Front 02 sensors get a bit tricky to get out....i dropped the pipe down a little so i could get to the connectors to unplug. Difficulty scale of 1-10 this jobs about a 3

 

I knew i forgot some stuff.lol. Yea i took the o2 sensors out after. Ecept the passenger side up front. I had to take it out to get to the bottom nut on the manifold.

 

What did you do about hangers? My stock mid-pipe has hangers. I thought I could just use those, but they are welded to the pipe. So what keeps the xpipe in place? It seems like too much weight to not be supported by something.

 

Once you tighten the bolts it stays in place.

To make your life easier, make sure you spray some penetrating oil (like PB Blaster) on the bolts and let it soak in before you get started.

 

Seriously? Nothing else?

 

My BBK catted x used the stock hangers near the tranny.

You can see it in my other thread.

 

Yeah. That's how it was for me, anyway.

 

not to steal the thread but is there anyway to install LT without tkaing the engine out? i don't really want to do that haha
