After doing this install last weekend I would mention this to others:
You use the stock hardware for the connection at the cats. So be careful not to round out or strip these bolts. I had one of the others get stuck and rounded it out trying to remove it. I ended up going up to a muffler shop with only hand tightened bolts on the stock exhaust (HOLY CRAP is the car loud with open exhuast) to have them remove the stuck one for $10. It might be worth it to have them loosen everything if your impact wrench won't fit. The 4 thick washers in your kit go between the black bracket and the body of the car. I found it MUCH easier to simply unbolt the exhaust hanger brackets and remove them from the car. Pulling the stock pieces out and putting the new ones in was a simple task with WD40 and a screwdriver once off the car. And this made it pretty easy to install and align before bolting everything tight. I did it the other way with my Mazda which has welded hangers and it was much harder. I'll try to get a photo album with additional pics and vids up within the next 1-2 weeks. |
