So, I just got a new exhaust and test pipe, and need to get it installed. The stock cat has a nice sexy rattle right now, and it's annoying the hell out of me.

Trouble is, the stock exhaust has about 98k miles on it, so I'm thinking some of the bolts are probably seized, and I won't be able to get them off doing the install myself.

Does anyone know of any good shops in Charlottesville or Glen Allen/Richmond area that don't charge an arm and a leg for this?


Thanks for the help!

 

Come on now. Easy garage install. I'll lend a hand if you want to do it this weekend. I'll even help for free. Shouldn't be as hard as you think.

What exhaust did you get?

 

If you have some liquid wrench, it'll help a lot. An exhaust swap can be done in less than 20 minutes.

 

PB Blaster + Hammer + Heat Gun will be able to get off any rusted bolt.

I think I'll be around on Sunday. Let me know if you want to do it then. I should be free.

 

You guys are amazing! You can jack up the car, removed rusted on exhaust and cat, install new test pipe and exhaust, and lower the car in less than 20 minutes by yourself? I'm getting old I guess.

 

^I think 20 minutes might be a stretch, but I say an hour tops. We got youth

 

Ya think?! My "experience" thinks so, too.

 

20 minutes isn't a stretch, done it in 25

it will be extra easy to install the new one since it's a single
