I read here how easily GT500 (and other) axle-backs are soooo easily installed, even with no ramps or jack stands. BULL CRXX!!! I am a mechanical guy with all the proper tools and ramps...there was no easy method, even to get the stock mufflers off. I finally paid the Ford dealer $50.00 to do it..a wise investment if you ask me. Just my 2 cents.

When I installed my Roush AB, I backed my car up on my ramps and then just unbolted the hangers from the car instead of trying to take the mufflers off the hangers while they were still on the car. I then just put the hangers on the Roush mufflers and bolted everything back up. Took me less than an hour to do.

I didn't think an engineer could do anything in 10 minutes or less except coitus

You're thinking of architects. City planners apparently, as well.

Well we will find out in the morning. I have time to take care of the car tomorrow and the weather is supposed to be nice for the first time since last weekend.
