Installing Axel Backs

So My question is simple, how hard is it to install Axel Back exhausts? What type of tools do I need and can it be done without a lift? Thanks

Quite simple, 2 clamps undo the hangers, keep note of how they go, tricky.....a lift is better becausr you may have to align the tips with the front hangers in the h pipe!! Mine were a pain in the ***!![:'(]

My flowmasters took 2 box wrenches and about 1 hour. Not too difficult.

I installed mine about 1 month ago without ramps or raising the car.It would've been easier to raise her, but I shimmied under no problem. Atotal of 8 hangers and 2 bolts and I'm not that mechanically inclined.

not hard, pretty straight forward

What type of tools do I need

a metric socket set would be nice to have, along with a metric wrench set

and can it be done without a lift?

yes, i slid underneath, on my garage floor

Thanks
