Installation Question...

[Aeromech]

I just got my exhaust in the mail and I am wondering if there is any cutting involved in removing the original exhaust system. Does it just unbolt like the one I got to install does?

I imagine I will need some PB blaster or Kroil and some antisieze for installation. How long should I expect to take installing the system including removal of the old one?

you shouldnt have to cut unless someone welded it on.

it depends on what tools you have access to, do you have a lift, ramp, or jackstands and what kinda mechanical experience you have, but it shouldnt take too long just take you time and make sure all bolts are tightened down and everything is secure cuz you dont want to drop your exhaust going down the road.

if it's not bolt-on you have to weld it.
if it's bolt-on , you just need A PB blaster and a socket

You shouldn't have to cut a thing, just count on busting bolts cause it's gonna happen. Be sure you spray and soak the nuts and bolts at least a couple of hours before you try removing them cause it's gonna be a b!tch. Oh yea, I hope that kit came with new nuts and bolts too. Also while you're down there check out your O2 sensor and the connector, make sure all is good on that end too.

Removal and installation went smooth. Took about 2.5 hours and that is including the time to get another rubber hangar. I hope the trans swap goes this smooth.

yeah, breaking the nuts loose was a task in itself....bloodied myself at least two times.

I just need to look into "moving" my heat shielding a bit. I get a rattle at low rpm's from the engine overcoming the engine mounts....I need to fix that before I get a rub-thru.
