Stock H-pipe install by myself

starin · September 19th, 2009, 11:41 PM

Hey guys how hard is it to install the stock hpipe back on a 1998 mustang gt
i dropped it about a year ago myself and installed a bbk xpipe but now i have to smog it and reinstall the stock hpipe for smog. it seemed pretty heavy when i dropped it. unfortunately i just moved out here and i dont have an extra set of hands. any suggestions?
thank you for the help

It sucks dude...but easily doable with one person..two people just make it easier...i usually wus out and use a jack to keep it up...

hmm ok so just use a jack to kind of hold it up, how long did it take you to put it bavk up, any other tricks?

After all the mustangs over the years ~ 45 minutes with a lot of blood sweat and tears, cursing...etc..it just sucked bolting the stock h pipe up to shorty headers... reason i love longtubes so much isn't because of the performance..just sooo much easier to work with..haha

With a stock hpipe doing it for the first time..? unknown amount of time. Sorry but no more tricks...pretty straight forward.

just PLEASEEE Please!!! make sure you line up/ attach the pipes up correctly.... Bolted down the hpipe to headers and wan't 'attached' properly..had to buy a new h pipe...blah!

I put a pair of jackstands under each side at about the right height near the crossover and then bolted up the front.
