removing catback

[RideThePony2004]

is it a pain to remove the catback and then putting it back on?

Is it a stock of aftermarket catback?

I've seen a lot of shops cut the stock ones off. It may be possible to get the stock one off without cutting, but not sure.

If it's aftermarket, then No it's not that hard.

its stock, i want to remove it so that i have enough room to install my mac mufflers instead of the stock ones

It should just be bolted on. It's not that hard.

moving this to tech

k thank you sorry...thought it would be appropriate for the help section. so it should go back in no problem? even around those bends by the rear wheel?

No worries man, no need to apologize This section is for site help and site suggestions, not tech help.

It should go back on no problem. It'll depend on how rusted the bolts are. I've taken mine on and off a million times so it's really easy. Especially with my impact wrench.

aha...if for any reason i need bolts...easy to find right?

You can you use any bolt and nut combo that is large enough. The only problem you may have would be where it goes over the axle. You may need to cut it unless you can get your car WAY up in the air.

crap...i only have a set of ramps

any way around it? i dont want to cut it bc i want to be able to put it back on

If you cut it you can get a set of 3" wide band clamps and put it back together. Most aftermarket exhausts come with them. They are like 10 dollars a piece. You may be able to lift it high enough but then again you may not.

Maybe try putting the car up on ramps and then using a jack on a few blocks of wood. Then use jack stands.
