im gonna be ordering my exhaust tomorrow, to install it all i have to do is take old one off and put new one in its place right?

if so how high should i raise the car to install it.

 

The higher the better honestly..........with jackstands........it can be difficult to get enough leverage behind tough welded in bolts.........on a lift its much easier to work with.

 

as high as you can get it really WITH JACKSTANDS.

As xsentrix said, the exhaust flanges/bolts can be a real PITA without propper leverage.. cheaterbar, whatever.

Or borrow someones lift..

 

have fun with the spring bolts.

 

You could go with my favorite method... buy new ones, and break all the old ones.

 

LOL

Yeah that method is good I think they actually recommend in the exhaust instructions that u buy new ones anyways.

Usually if you spray a little WD40 on it it won't be too difficult......

 

I actually just jacked up the passenger side and stuck jackstands underneath both jack points. It was a pain to get some of those bolts loose so I recommend WD-40 or the like all the bolts and hangers. Also let it soak about 10 minutes. Does make things alot easier.

Also get yourself a flex socket adapter: http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/searc...s+%26+Ratchets

It will help to get to the cat bolts.

 

well my uncle is a mechanic so i'll prolly just have him do it for me since he's got all the tools and a lift.

 

So why did you ask then if your uncle has a lift.

 

because i wanna see if i was able to do it at home, but ive decided to just go to his shop and save myself the trouble
