Default Swapping out exhaust

How long dose it take to quickly change exhuasts from stock to a single. With just jackstands?

Less than 2 hours the most difficult part is getting the stock exhaust off the rear rubber hangers---make sure you remove rear wheels and spray some WD40 on the rubber hangers to make it easier to slide them off.

This, have four jack stands. Two for the car. One to hold one muffler, one to hold the front pipe.

It took me less than 2 hours as well. I used a spare jack to bring down the mufflers after the rubber hangers were off by using a pry bar and lubed up. I had the front part on the ground on some cardboard to drag out since it was a one man job.

Takes me about 30 minutes. I raise up the car with a 4 jack stands. Then use WD40 for the hangers. I jacked up the exhaust from the y-pipe area a lil bit and remove the hangers and then lower the whole exhaust using the jack.

I just use two stands for the rear half of the car.undo that lower tie bar and undo the front most hangars.undo those bolts that hold it to the cat, then work my way backwards on the hangars with the downward weight they want to slide off.and anytime in the past I put wd40 on rubber hangars it dried the hangars out soon after.not the best idea to make yourself need to do the job again lol.but I do take some Vaseline and put a dab into the hole of the hangar for reinstallation tho.
