Exhaust easy install?

Mr Big · 04-06-2008, 11:53 AM

Basicaly I'm not a very handy person. At the same time, I do hate paying people to do things that I should be able to do myself. I have a 07 Si Sedan and am planning on buying the skunk2 cat back. I have 2 good jack stands and basic tools, no torque wrench.

Is the exhaust just bolt on? Will I have to grind anything cut anything to get the old exhaust off and put the new exhaust on?

Depending on how hard the bolts and stuff are bolted on... If so then you will have to grind/Cut it..

its just bolt on I replace my stock Si exhaust system with skunk2 60mm. the oem exhaust is straight bolt on no need to use power tools just a wrench and muscle SPECIALLY the bolts by the catalyst convert.

over all easy simple straight forward to do, as long you know how to tighten up and lossen up a bolt YOUR GOOD TO GO

raise the car high enough for your body to fit under the exhaust and have room to put pressure on the bolt to break it loose. use penetrating catalyst to break free the corroded nuts. a breaker bar to help loosen the nuts and bolts. all the tools to get the job done help.

Just make sure you have a lift, it's easier that way.
