[B]I should add that some people have had problems stripping the bolt so it might be better to go to Honda and buy a spare (can't be that much) before you start.

 

where can I buy a jack and jack stands? Can you get them at pepboys or someplace like that? Thanks

 

Does anyone know where I can get that stuff?

 

but after I use that stuff, will I be able to safely put those same bolts back on??

 

Just installed my comptech exhaust tonight. Leave yourself a couple hours. I no master mechanic, but it isn't that hard. It is a 2 man job getting the stock exhaust out. Be careful with those bolts. I cranked on them pretty hard when I put the new one on. I felt a slight slip (very slight, but a slip nonetheless) on one of the bolts. Ill go back tomorrow and tighten all the bolts, as per the instructions, to see if it is stripped.

The hardest part of the job is getting the rubber hangers off when removing the stock exhaust. I used a long heavy screwdriver and pryed it against a frame member for leverage. Works well.

Spray WD-40 or silicon spray on the hangers. They'll be easier to take the mufflers off and put the new ones on. Yes. Nearly all parts stores like Pep Boys have jack stands (pretty cheap).

 

anyone know how much the neuspeed exhaust weighs?

 

I thought I read somewhere that it's about 15lbs lighter than stock. I just put mine on today (thanks Mingster!!!), and it took about two hours by myself. Use WD-40 on the exhaust hangers to take them off. I only have about 1100 miles on my car and the nuts at the cat converter came off pretty easy.

 

Buy a Helm manual and a decent set of tools. Using only these, you can accomplish quite a bit.
