it took me about 4 hours to put them on. hard part was getting the bults on the clamp which connects the downpipe to the exhaust because it was so rusty that the bults size got bigger because of the rust. anyways after taking it off, putting the testpipe was easy, but connecting the testpipe and downpipe together is almost impossible to do your self. i took it for a ride without the exhaust system it was testpipe and downpipe, but my little 4 cyclender was LOUDDDD. anyways now it kinda sucks because the 2.5 inch down pipe is bigger then the 2.25 exhaustpiping so i have a rattle in the middle of the car it sounds so ricey but i am gonna get a custom 2.5 piping soon so that should take car of it. those who are gonna install a testpipe on your car, make sure you have some help.

 

Didn't onepoint8tee do this to? It took him a REALLY long time if I remember right. LOL

Almost 3 times as long. His devil bolts must not had been as evil as mine were. LOL

 

i heated it up with this thing they had no idea whats its called the bults were red hot then i put the socket it came right off

 

he might also be a manual tranny
where as onepoint is an tip

 

do you have any idea what type of "thing" you used to heat up the bolts??? sounds like it made it a lot easier

 

a torch???

 

yep thats what it is

 

PBblaster took my bolts right off, although getting my hands too the bolts really sucked.

 

I wedged a box end wrench on the bolt and snapped the bolts when I took them off. Made it nice and easy.

Connecting the downpipe and the test pipe, I pulled the downpipe up as far as possible with it disconnected and did the nuts and bolts on the dp/cat.
