Default Installing Exhaust...

Is installing an exhaust relatively the same on every car? I want to put a new one on my '92 Integra, but I have yet to see any site show how to. If I ordered through some distrubutor, would they send instructions as well as the nuts and bolts required?

And what about cold air intakes?

Installing an exhaust system is kind of self explanatory. Crawl under your car and take a look. You'll probably need a good amout of lubracation and maybe even an impact wrench to get the bolts lose. A performance exhaust sytem should come with ss bolts, if not run to the hardware store. The hardest part of the whole process might be getting the car off the ground far enough to work comfortably under it. If your planning to put a new header on make sure to use a new gasket. Also, to make your life easier try and cover the exhaust bolts with anti-sieze just to make sure they don't rust on. CAI are very easy to install and should come with instructions.

Probably wouldn't hurt to spray some lubricant on the bolts the day before you do it. I had a hard time with my rear suspension because the bolts were frozen in place. When I sprayed down the fronts they came off without a hitch.

Rear honda suspension is almost always impossible to get off. Front is usually not to bad. Spraying a few days in advance is good advice though.
