Default Prochamber install..how difficult?

With floorjack and some jack stands, hand tools and some PB Blaster, how difficult of a job is it to install an OR Prochamber? any advice before I attempt this?

about 45min to an hour if you dont have any problems with the hanger bushings.

take it to a shop and have the manifolt stud nuts cracked loose. depending on the age and the condition of them, they could be rusted on there and may need to be torched off.

you'll need a deep socket, and a good size extension. all the nuts/bolts are the same size. you'll want an open ended wrench or vice grips to keep the nuts on the catback side from free-spinning when you loosen the bolts.

and dont be afraid to put a little elbow grease into getting the o2 sensors out of the stock midpipe.

no access to air tools.

The gasket from stock manifold to midpipe..they only sell a right side one..Is there not a left side gasket? What's up with that?

Only one on the passenger side. Driver's side is one of those ball n socket type fittings.

*****.


if i had the money for air tools, id get em, but i dont have much use for air tools other than exhaust work. at that point its really not worth spending the money.

plus with hand tools, it doesnt take more than an hour to change a midpipe.
