John Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 yeah i have a tip for ya "dont" couldn't agree with ya more some standard replacement exhausts are a pain in the arse to fit even with all the kit in the world and on a vehicle lift. all i can say is you guys must seriously like a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSX Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 are none of u mechanically minded its pis to change an exhaust iv done it myself and was simple, but only if uv got a pit like i had, if ur doin it on a jack/axle stands its gonna be a bastad, make sure uv got an angle grinder to take off the old back box/centre section coz the joins may hav welded themselves together. just dont spray the fuel lines with sparks liek i did, otherwise kaboom! good luck and good on you for tryin to do it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 are none of u mechanically minded there no mechanical knowledge needed to fit a exhaust......after all kwik fit fitters fit them! exhausts are just a pet hate of mine, had too many hours spent trying to get them to fit right after they been poorly made etc. and yes i have mechanical kowledge. i am "just a mechanic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
