yea just wondering who or where can i go to get that shit installed without being ass raped. just changed the oil yesterday at my friends house i was gonna attempt to install while i had the car in the air (lifted by a 14" jack) , well i tried to loosen the cat heat shield bolts and they wasnt moving, at the same time it reminded me how much of a pain in the ass it was to remove the stock cat back. it took like 200lbs of force on vise grips to remove the bolts around the cat. the muffler bolts wernt too nice either. then im debating if i should go on ahead and try to find a descently priced 20" jack and try to attack job with better space.

dude i talked to my co worker that will help me do ur work and he said yes, but i gotta ask my supervisor to c if its okay. he comes in only on fridays b.c. he works at a another location...if he says yes i can do it for u for $100.

Buying a torch from walmart is a easy $14 solution for rusty bolts.

Damn that IMOD thing is expensive... But I guess not everyone in the world is mechanically inclined. BTW, you don't need a new exhaust manifold gasket, the stock one is metal and can be reused. Just clean it off.

Most of the time on those bolts you have to use a bolt extractor to get them off. It's easier when you can get the car up higher to get a longer wrench on it to. Shoot me a PM if you need more help getting them off. :thumbsup:

hey watever man my ass got busted installin the cat-back wit 12" of clearance it wasnt the install it was taking the bitch apart. and everyone doesnt have access to a lift in a shop like you do. i guess the install would be easy being able to lift the motherfucker 6ft in the damn air with the availability of air ratchets,drills and other shit to make the job easier. did u install ur exhaust under 12'' by hand? :rolleyes::stfu:
