Not at all. It's really easy. Might need a helping hand, but it's possible to do it alone.

too noisy for me. I don't want too much ricer sounds coming from my car. If I find an exhaust that's less noisy, then I'll probably get it if it improves anything. Is the MS CBE less loud that this?

I already have the Racepipe installed and I personally sopke wthi RPM to get me the proper bolts. Hopefully they fit. If not, I have some nice stainless bolts in my box already.

My fingers are crossed to get it today.

thanks!

Do you have to do any cutting to install the test pipe/ race pipe? I am getting under the car to add the motor mount soon and may as well do both at once if I have no cutting involved.

n/m got the answer...it looks so easy even I could do it!

guys seriously i just spent almost an HOUR under the car

im no expert on exhaust systems, but i know how to do stuff....

and WTF?

First how do you get those spring loaded bolts off? (race pipe)

Am i like not going at the right piece or something?

Second how are we supposed to hook up a CBE without welding?
I have literally no idea unless the CBE runs all the way into the race pipe


Please help....... quick

Hey, give me a call. Gonna send you a PM.

Actually, nvm. All the nuts on the cat side of the race pipe are welded on, so you unscrew the SILVER nuts. They take some muscle, but apply the right force and you'll get them off. The wrench will probably fall out of your hand but you get the nut loose. Don't worry about the springs, they're not under any tension at all. Then by the downpipe, when you look up, you'll see 2 more silver screws. undo those ones and you're set. Those bolts are longer though.
