gte hold of everything u can..my experince is cut the old system up on the car and remove in pieces, haet every joint you have to split and hit it with a bloody big hammer.....but then again i was removing the nasty fragile cat whilst doing this and skiping it!

You start off with the normal tools and keep going back to the garage for more. I used the cut-off wheel to slice the resonator pipe lengthwise at the cat, not all the way through, and again at the muffler. The crow bar was used to spread open the cut without damaging the cat pipe and the dish washing detergent was used for installing the new rubber hangers. Vice grips were used to peal back the old pipe.

In EVERY exhaust job I've ever done I've had to use some kind of cutting tool to either make the job possible or easier. I'm partial to a cheap Harbor Freight 4" dia. 1/16" cutoff wheel for both bolts and pipe. It WILL help to cut the pipe in front of the rear axle to remove the exhaust pipe. Cutting the pipe behind the cat also makes the bolts easier to get to that hold the pipe to the cat.

A compressor and an air impact wrench are also useful...some of the bolts may come apart (or be broken when removed...results are the same..the pipes are off!) and in any case use new bolts. Use antiseize on them too!

You may also need a new rear muffler mounting bracket...they don't come with the muffler kit and they're often unremoveable from the rear muffler.
