If so....tell me how u got the stock exhaust off because i cant get the bolts off of the stock one. They were either too tight or somthing

 

haha i did it like in 2 minutes...super easy mod

 

youll need a breaker bar or some pb blaster to get the bolts off

 

Its real easy. Make sure you are taking off the correct side. The one side if I rememeber correct is nuts welded to the exhuast the other side, the bolt side is the spring bolt that needs loosened. This should be easy. Just takes some strength. I have done 6-7 exhuasts on a tC and it was all fairly easy.

All it is is the two bolts and 3 hangers as seen in this picture.

 

I still cant get the springed bolts off. Also what happens to the bolts welded to the stock exhaust? My exhaust didnt come with 2 welded bolts or any extra bolts.

 

i did mine w/ couple buddies, its really not that hard, just gotta figure out the hangers


o ya use a lot of WD-40 :D

 

those bolts were a pain, they are just on there really tight, make sure youre using a strong rachet, or something similair

 

if you can get the car up in the air higher, you can use a long tube or something to give you more torque to get the bolts to loosen up. you just need some strength!

 

I guess ill try

 

Mine didn't come with new nuts either. Anyone know the thread size offhand?

 

lol I was just gonna ask the same question just now. Thank you for saving me some time to make a new post lol. My car is on Jacks right now, I've been fighting the bolts and it's not loosening either lol. Just got back with WD-40 we'll see how that goes.

 

Guys, the spring nuts aren't loosening.......I've tried banging it with a hammer and well...my hands hurt =(

 

get a 1/2 rachet (3/8 arent strong enought.. i know i broke one), some WD40, and a 14mm socket. and get under there and give it all you got... if u dont got a lot. get air tools

 

yep its a 14mm. and its the bolt you wan t to loosen, not the nut. make sure you are going righty tighty lefty loosey. Its easy to go the wrong way when upside down. Use a breaker bar if needed or take two big box wrenches and use one for leverage.

They WILL come off if you have the strength to get them off.

 

it really wasnt hard, trust me just takes some time

 

only thing is if I pull hard enough will it break or exhaust? like the mid pipe and stuff...and technically I amm yanking the whole thing.

 

nahh. that things held up wtih rubber hangers, you got some give. and like nick said, losen the BOLTS not the nuts.

 

cake!

 

Did anyone have to put on new nuts with their exhaust? My Megan oem didn't come with any hardware. I'm trying to find the thread pitch of the spring bolts. I couldn't find a match in my re-threading kit. TIA

 

i have done the HKS, Injen, and Draxas and all them had the hardware needed.
