remove old ones. Install new ones :)


The only annoying thing I found is that you will need to remove all the heat shielding from the factory 2-1 section before you can get it out.

Yea.
Undo bolts between the 4-2 and 2-1.

Remove oxy sensor.

Remove bolts where the 2-1 connects to the cat.

Remove the bolts where the 4-2 connects to the block.

Remove the bolt where the flange between the 4-2 ans 2-1 connects to the block.

Remove the bolts where the 2-1 connects to the hanger on the cross member.

Remove all heat shielding from the 2-1 section then spend ages trying to wiggle it out lol.

(these are in no particular order)


Yea just chuck a beer crate or something under the exhaust to hold it up.

yoiu dont need to mate.
the exhaust hanger. take that off and the rest will come out with a little wiggling. done it loads of times. the hangar makes it very hard to get out but once off should come out easy
