well i should be gettin my new exhaust here in 2 days and was wondering if i should do it myself or have a shop do it. I aleady have the axelback off. Just the midsection is it. I see that 2 of the hangers on my teg are welded on so i wouldnt be able to get those off myself. MY question is would i have to weld those back on to my new exhaust so it doesnt come loose?

get your exhaust up to cleveland and we'll install it

i'll charge you $1 for it

*pdiggitydogg* · 03-14-2004, 10:40 PM

very easy to do
just remember to spray the hangers w/ lube so they come off easier

C's 94 InTeGrA · 03-14-2004, 11:06 PM

lol Stefan... i wish i could man.. but my car isnt fit to drive up therre right now... Well we got some problems right now. The bolts holding the pipe to the cat are sooooooooo rusted and will not move... i tried everything.. i even sprayed them with pb blaster too. Also a funny thing. Someone maybe the dealer when they put a new cat and exhaust on my car brike the bolt holding my cat up to the header collector.. so ya. I am thinking of taking it to a muffler shop.

Do it yourself.
Grind off the stubborn bolts and go buy new ones.
Trust me..there is a satisfaction of doing things yourself..

*ChrisCantSkate* · 03-15-2004, 12:28 AM

your new exaust will come with hangers. very simple... 3 rubber thingys holding it up then its off

C's 94 InTeGrA · 03-15-2004, 08:50 AM

ya i found out it comes with new hangers. Do u think it would come with new bolts as well? Well ya i am just about done messin with gettin the old one off so ill end up taking it somewhere.

MAXed Out · 03-15-2004, 03:14 PM

Just get a grinder and cut those rusted bolts off. Then just get the old exhaust off and put this one in.

94_AcCoRd_EX · 03-15-2004, 03:17 PM

It probably won't come with new bolts, but if you have an auto/hardware store near you that shouldn't be a problem, right?

Do you have a grinder that you can use? That should make the job much easier...

C's 94 InTeGrA · 03-15-2004, 03:22 PM

i think i do... but really.. i dont wana full with the whole thing. everytime i try to do somethin on my car i always fuck somethin up. i got quoted 35-40$ today from a shop here depending on how hard it is to put on. and i was like its a bolt on and hes like well they say that but it sometimes isnt the case... real jackass there. but anyhow.

B16DoHcCrx033003 · 03-15-2004, 03:25 PM

gring off the bolt heads, and get some easy outs.. they work no matter what....

*KwikR6* · 03-15-2004, 11:18 PM

Why don't you take it to a shop...and ask them to do it...and ask them to show you how to do it...say you really want to learn.

theres the site I made to show how "hard" it was to do my own catback. I basically took two days because I didn't plan ahead. I had the same problem you have with the cat being fused to the old pipe. I wasted so much time trying to hacksaw those bolts (If I had a dremel at the time, that might have done it), when I justed ended up taking it to my dads friend and he torched the bolts out. after that it was complete bolt up, easy as pie.

Mine came with some hardware, although I had to buy a few extra gaskets and one bolt. oh and also, make sure you put the midpipe in RIGHT SIDE UP! for a week I couldn't figure out why it was scraping on every bump!

just do it yourself, you'll feel great about it!

C's 94 InTeGrA · 03-16-2004, 05:06 PM

well i got it on wit hthe muffler shop.. i hated having to drive my car in all this snow shit. But i got it on. they charged me really cheap and it sounds very badass... thanks guys for ur help

Shaved &/or Laid · 03-16-2004, 05:06 PM
