scapegoat

Installing JBA long tubes in the next few weeks. I was wondering if there was a good article online somewhere with details on the installation, or at the very least a list of tools and sizes required to perform the job.

thanks

Really not much too it. Just a hard place to work where just about every bolt is hard to get to and puts up a mean fight. Just about everyone has had to do some or all of the following so be prepared with extra jacks, jack stands, or hands: raise the engine, disconnect the steering shaft, remove the starter, remove the battery and the battery box, remove the motor mounts, and remove and reinstall the surprisingly troublesome dipstick tube. Other than that, its pretty strait forward, remove the stock manifolds and H, then replace with the new parts.

Just need basic tools. Just make sure you have some ratcheting *** end ratchets. Those are a live saver when working under the car in dark areas.
I bought a set of small swivel head ratcheting wrenches ahead of times and they have easily paid for themselves on exhaust work alone.


Took me and a helper about 9 lazy hours lying under the car from turn key to turn key. Plus you get a break about half way through when you get to throw the stock manifolds out from under the car, after they fall on your face. But the sweet purr after words makes it all worth it. Hope your not claustrophobic.
