Whats next?

Good to know. I use Mobil one in all of my cars except the Z where I use Valvoline VR-1. Time to stock up on Motul!

Ok, so I'm apparently like Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder. I can drive a car, but I'm clueless when I'm underneath the damn thing. I needed a set of tools, so I went to pick up a ratchet set. Figured that would be enough to take off the stock muffler and add an axle back. Maybe it was, for anyone that knows what they are doing, but I just felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. Would an impact wrench be a good idea?

Keep in mind that I'm seriously an idiot when it comes to this stuff. I tried to use one of those small monkey wrenches to hold the nut because the second socket wrench that came with the set I bought didn't fit beside the exhaust tube, and there wasn't an extension for the larger wrench.

Yes, that bad.

Also, where can I get the OEM 14mm exhaust bolts?

I would recommend some WD40 and a pair of Channel Locks so you can remove the Rubber Hangers. Grease them and then use the Channel Locks to pull the rubber off the mounting points.

As for needing bolts I always liked Ace Hardware because they just seem to have a great selection and you can normally take them the bolts you removed and they can help from there as you mentioned not being sure what you are doing.

I will say that most new exhaust systems come with everything you need. If not that's a little strange but either way it should not e hard to do at all.

It did come with everything I needed. I'm just struggling with the stock bolts. I'll try an extender to fit the larger socket wrench (I want to say it's a 3/4 wrench).

I've heard the hangers are the tough part. I can't even get that far.

Where you located? If you don't mind coming to surprise I can help you out (I'll gladly except tips ). I have 2 lifts (Soon to be 3 that will make quick work of your little project). PM me if interested.

I would suggest before you remove all the bolts you get some of those off. With the exhaust free moving it can be harder unless you are on a lift then it can be helpful.

If you want come down Saturday and you can get all the help you like.

But yes those hangers can be a pain that's why I recommend WD40 aka Lube... lol.

Also its great to have a socket set but did you get a few standard wrenches too? (Metric in size of course) Not all nuts just spin off on exhaust and I cannot remember if the stock exhaust is just studs and nuts or bolts and nuts which would require you to hold both sides.

Y'all willing to help out a Phoenix guy get some stuff under his car put in as well on Saturday? (mtec springs, rear shifter bushing, and transmission mount bushing)

[Lischynski]

@Cross It is a nut and bolt, I tried and failed at the holding both sides part.

Also, any payment will be in beer currency. Thanks for the offers guys. I'f I can't do it on my own tomorrow, I'll hit one of you guys up that are willing to help.

Thanks!

Of course come on down, I personally would like to see the results of that bushing set on a stock shifter.

Beer is fine although lately I have been paid a little to often (my fridge is full of beer...) so bring soda, Dr. Pepper or Pepsi etc. Nothing Diet... lol
