Getting the damned bolts off the first time took longer than installing and uninstalling a 4" muffled nameless axleback and installing a 5" one. I suggest a can of PB Blaster, it's magic.

Get a shop jack from harbor freight. Makes all car jobs easier, definitely worth the 150$(this doesn't really have anything to do with removing the exhaust without jacking but I feel it's a good tip)

I used it and it worked like a charm. Getting the exhaust off without jacking the car is possible, but definitely gonna be easier with a jack.... And even easier with a lift.... I wrestled with my axleback for an hour to get it settled in and tightened down, with just the back jacked up... It's definitely easier if you don't have the OEM-style diffuser installed |
