h-pipe install status.... FAILED

Chris951 · July 27th, 2009, 02:51 AM

So me and my mom's friend tried to tackle the task of swapping out my o/r h-pipe with my stock one. It sucked and we couldn't get the bolts back in. All we had was a little floor jack and some little jack stands... on the plus side, I got my new smog pump in. But tomorrow I'm gonna go back and try to mount my old h-pipe on so i can bolt the mufflers up and just drive it home (2.5 miles). I need to find someone with ramps or a bigger jack... Or take it somewhere. How much would an exhaust shop charge me to put an h-pipe on?

Ive put a stock midpipe on a 02 v6... Not fun with the car only halfway on the ramps

Stangzilla · July 27th, 2009, 03:17 PM

U should b able to do it in an hour or less, that includes putting the car on jack stands.. As an owner of a Fox u really need to invest in 4 good jack stands & a decent jack.. Do not ever use a set of ramps. I myself do not trust them.. Plus they are bulky and have limited use capabilities..

1989Gt. · July 27th, 2009, 09:39 PM

ddarkslayer · July 27th, 2009, 09:57 PM

they will do it I'm not sure how much they will charge but when in doubt got see the real experts that do nothing but work on pipes and mufflers all day long

Chris951 · July 28th, 2009, 01:06 AM

Well I went to emissions today and failed horribly. But this was with an o/r pipe. I just wanted to get a 30 day tag. I actually passed 2 of 4 tests though lol. I doubled the limit of Co2 and doubled the limit of hydrocarbons but I passed the NOX test and the gas cap pressure test hahaha

Nice 5.0 · July 28th, 2009, 01:40 AM

Move to NC. Anything 95 and below gets a safety inspection. No emissions test.

DejaBlue87 · July 28th, 2009, 01:48 AM

move to south carolina, they have no tests at all
