Once you get the passenger side of the stock H-pipe off, you've won half the battle!

I had to create a crazy contraption with swivels and extenders...I called it frankenrachet...it was pretty intense. Me and my friend were under the car laughing our asses off the whole time. Probably the most fun install I've ever done. Beer is a prerequisite.

mid length socket + a "universal joint adapter" + 24" extension or take a cheap pos craftsman socket and cut it in half to make it a mid length and stick an impact to it for the passenger side. Took a few minutes if that to do.

yeah it took me 4 hours to get those 4 front bolts off. the pass bottom bolt was the worst. i ended stripping the bolt and having to use a bolt off kit. i used a 24'' extension a 3/8 swivel (1/2 wouldnt fit) and mid length 13 or 15mm socket dont remember. juice it with pb blaster and let it sit while you take the rest off. it works wonders good luck.

be sure to use some anti-sieze on the o2 sensor when placing it back in so it won't be a bitch the next time you have to take it out. PBlaster FTW.
