hey guys i just got my xpipe delivered today and im wondering how hard of an install is it andabout how long it will take

 

install isnt hard unless the bolts are rusted real bad. the night before soak them real good with some PB blaster and then again an hour before you start too. youll need a long extention and a swivel socket for the passanger side. if there rusted real bad and you use an inpact or any other air tools take you time and dont go ape with it. taking a blow torch and heating the nuts will help with breaking up the rust. good luck. install time on a good day should be about an hour but a bad day like mine took almost 3 hours and a trip to the shop to have the threads rechased on the stock manifolds.

 

I did the swap over two days but it only took about two hours of actual working time. My car was like brand new underneath when i did it but i still sprayed the bolts with PB blaster before i tried to take off the stock mid pipe. The passenger side manifold is the biggest pain but pretty easy install. Your gonna need couple of swivel sockets and extentions. It helps if you use a floor jack to push your mufflers up and go behind your car to make sure your tail pipes are strait before you tighten everything down. Have fun.

 

Lubricate the bolts AND drive afterwards. The heating up and cooling will seriously help. Do this once or twice. Are you using a lift? With a lift, it took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

 

agarr19 are you in the navy? ive seen a car that looks exactly like yours cruising around base and that picture looks like it was taken by the track, not exactly on topic sorry.

 

thanks guys and i can use a lift next week but i want it on by 2morro : / haha idk what to do and nahh kadoi im in newyork lol

 

It will not be fun doing the install on your back. I'd wait for the lift.

 

oh sh*t its not that hard doing it on your back.....try dropping a tranny and replacing a clutch on you back that sucks *****!!!! x pipe is cake.

 

Did mine in a little under two hours taking breaks in my garage. Couple of guys were over so the install went kinda relaxed. I have air tools though.

 

It shouldnt be too bad if you got the right ttools. Get some longer extension they will def help you with leverage. Fwk tranny swaps dude lol. I did 3 trannys on mustangs already and it sucked alignin the clutch in there.
