I think that's one of the funniest DIY's I've ever seen. Not to sound insulting though, I mean funny in a good way.

The little drawings and stuff like "circle thingy" were just entertaining.

Good job though...

you'll love the sound redline_tc.. It has barely any rasp to it and gives you that low rumbleing sound. I love it, and i hope you'll love it as much as mine when you get yours.

hey guys i'm going to be putting my exhaust on, and i bought it used and it didn't come with the nuts for the axle back system. Can anyone tell me the exact size of the nuts used? I would just go to the hardware store, but i don't want to have to bring my exhaust up there, i'd rather just go to the store and buy them and get it done in one shot. BTW that Megan system looks great on the Mica car!

Thanks guys **Jess**

don't mean to hijack your thread!

this nut here

i was under the car and it looks like the bolts and springs come out but the nuts are welded to the stock axle back part. So i'll need to buy the nuts from the store, just wondering if anyone knew the size. Thanks guys **Jess**

You positive you didnt get the bolts? I found my gasket and bolts underneath one of the flaps in the box. Did you even get a "Donut" gasket?

i bought it used, it was on a guys car for a few hundred miles. My finace got a gasket for me, thats not a problem. I'm just going to go to the local hardware store and buy the nuts, i just need to know the size that is all. Everything will be fine, as long as i know the nut size. If not i'll just be driving a few miles with no exhaust, no big deal, but i would rather avoid it.

My finace told me to leave it alone and let him do it, he is a mechanic, but i want ot do it myself. So any and all help is appreciated. I know how to get it off, how to put it on, I knew i needed a gasket and got one, but the nuts are the only deal here. Yes i know without a gasket i will have a major exhaust leak, thanks for the tip of the century Mizle. I grew up in the garage from a little girl around 600-700hp drag cars, so i do know what i am doing.

Thanks guys

BTW i am going to be putting my exhaust on in about 10 hours (Tuesday morn) Its the Injen axle back system
