Muffler install... first mod

Well it lasted 3 months and I have to start modding..... installing some Pypes Violator axle backs next week, is it as easy unbolting the clamps and pulling the mufflers off the hangers ? Anything special in the re&re?


Thx

very easy. Line up the tips before you tighten every thing back up.

One of the stock mufflers (cant remember which one, did mine 2 years ago) is a pain in the rear to get off for some because of one of the bolt locations. Just be patient and you can get to it.
The installation of the new mufflers, however, is easy as cake. And like Glenn said, make sure you line up the tips before you tighten the last few bolts.

Like Reminisce said, one is a pain....the drivers side. However it should take you about 30-45 minutes to swap them out.

Mine was a pain because the brackets did not line up and it was hard to get the muffler tips centered. I still need to redo one of them. Good luck!

Yeap... driver's side was a pain... Try to not get too frustrated. lol. I also had a 1/2" trimmed off my mid-pipe by a pro-exhaust shop because I thought the MAC's stuck out a little too far.

Modded '08s... that's what I'm talking about. haha.

You waited 3 months before the first mod? I couldn't wait 2 days and my FRPP Stingers were on the car. Modding is a disease that has no cure! Have fun!
