Stock exhaust removal

[nyrfan]

I never did and exhaust before and had my old one off and a new one on in about 2 hours with only rear ramps.

Tools used:
Ramps - For the lift
Soapy water - to help release the hangers
Torque wrench - obvious
15MM socket - For clamps and brach
7MM scoket - for diffuser pull back

Glad we could help.

Thanks! I was seeing a lot of people use 4 jacks but it seems you did fine with just the back up. I think that's what I will do. Appreciate the help

I forgot to mention the jack to help hold the exhaust up while you disconnet from the rear hangers.

on the V6, I put the rear on stands, removed the connections from the cats, set the front piping on a jack, pulled the jack forward, and viola! It took longer the install the new one piece by piece.

Yeah I found that one this morning. Very helpful. In the future I'll be sure to search all the internets thoroughly before posting on this site. The thread patrol is in full force on here. By the way this is NOT directed at you.

It's just all in how you do it. I don't like the built-in search function here. I hate wading through the massive list of crap it supplies. I always put something like "site:camaro5.com DIY catback install" straight into the google search box and I find I get MUCH better results.

If its just cat back, you can unbolt right behind the cat.

Axle back requires cutting the pipes near the axle

You have to set the search to search titles only.

Or its useless

Then you're at the mercy of how well the title was worded.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to do so in the future. Like you mentioned it's easy to miss something with you're looking through 20 pages of results.
