I'm gonna buy some ramps in the morning so i can install the pipe tomorrow.
Aside from sockets, what else will i need? are the factory bolts ridiculous to get off? any suggestions so i don't get all pissed off and frustrated?

The directions make it seem pretty straight forward, but any additional help would be dope.

thanks in advance!!

extensions and maybe some pb blaster, or a good breaker bar. its not too hard just frustrating for me. the damn hangers didnt wanna come out. then the damn pipe didnt wanna come out. the street unit goes in much easier then the old came out. but be patient and its not bad bro. i didnt do the su one but i did a turboxs one

pb blaster the crap out of the bolts and let them soak for as long as possible.

Good luck getting your car up on the ramps in the first place. But seriously, a good breaker bar, a bowl of wheaties for breakfast, and you should be good to go.

12mm socket, and 14mm socket with extension. and have fun getting fwd car up ramps, it just pushes them unless you have the special ramps.

i use ramps, the plastic ones, just have to kick them under the tires so they don't slide

jack wont fit under than damn car

verto i have the same problem.... any jack wont fit under the car... i need to have another person trying to lift it up by the fender to slide it under lol hahaha

Oh man, jacking this car up is such an incredible pain in the ass! Jacks don't fit, ramps don't work... what a pisser. I have to jack up one side, use a jackstand, take the jack out, jack it up from the middle and then get the other stand under there. Sounds simple but man what a pain!

Once you get the car in the air the race pipe is the easy part! maybe have a new doughnut gasket on hand.
