X pipe Install

MnrlGry01gt · August 16th, 2006, 01:06 AM

Is installing a new x-pipe as easy as it seems? Is it just a few bolts and thats it? I would think that the hardest part is hooking it up to the manifolds just because of the reach.

Actually I think the hardest part is taking off the old midpipe. You def need a tq wrench for it.

But it isn't very difficult, no.

Getting to the passenger side manifold nuts are the most difficult part of replacing the mid pipe. You will need a universal joint and a long extension, a cut down deep reach socket and a little patience.

Perfect Info...

Also may I add the night before soak the stock bolts in a penetrating oil of some sorts...PB Blaster ( I think that is what it is called) is a good one...

yeah you're going to have the most problems with the passenger side starter will be in the way probably

Never had an issue with the starter...

If you can get axcess to a lift it makes things 10 times easier...
