Step 2 Removing old exhaust

What a pain.  My exhaust had some rust that made it difficult.  Take my advice.  See if you can purchase the bracket that attached to the cat and the car. If I did not have to remove this bracket from the existing exhaust this swap would have been a breeze.  You will need a swivel extension and lots of liquid wrench to get the Y-Pipe off.  But the install is worth it.

•  Exhaust install Step 1:

Elevate the vehicle using a hydraulic lift or a jack. You need to be able to see the exhaust system and work comfortably around it.

• Exhaust install Step 2:

Disconnect the old exhaust system piece by piece, starting with the tailpipe and working backwards toward the catalytic converter. Some pieces can be removed by bolt cutters or wrenches, while others may require a welding torch. Take care not to damage any other components of the vehicle while you work.

• Exhaust install Step 3:

Watch for the emissions control sensor near the catalytic converter. This should not be damaged and needs to be functioning correctly for the exhaust system to be legal.

• Exhaust install Step 4:

Install the new catalytic converter and check the connection so that it will fit with the rest of the exhaust. It should be welded firmly into place and fit snugly within its designated space. This step may not be necessary if your exhaust kit does not include a catalytic converter.

• Exhaust install Step 5:

Connect the exhaust tubing from the catalytic converter to the new muffler and fit it into place. It may need to be adjusted to fit the dimensions of your vehicle.

• Exhaust install Step 6:Starting from the front of the car, hang the exhaust part up then bolt it onto the pipe before it, do not tighten all the way until you have all pieces on.
