Since you did the install how hard is it? is there any tricks i should know before??

alverjay
05-12-2008, 02:19 PM
its was pretty simple if u have air tools you will be thankfull, remove the rear tires for easier access when slipping in your new tail pipes, jack up your car as high as you can and toss 4 stands under it for maximum clearence it makes a world of difference, all in all it was very easy only a few hours that includes about an hour lunch break. I did have to shorten my Y-Pipe about 4 inches on each side although the install directions did state that on some v6's the y-pipe may need to be shortened, easy enough to do with a saws-all.

seems pretty simple. I was thinking of using ramps you think i can do the job with 10 inch hight ramps? i appriciate you help btw.

alverjay
05-12-2008, 02:52 PM
as long as your front end will clear the ramps sure u can, you might have to eventually put the rear end up on ramps too tho, to each his own tho. just make usre u block your wheels if u use ramps
