Is it easy to put on the apex-i N1 Dual catback system, or will I need to bring it somewhere? Will I need any out of the ordinary tools.
Love, Chance |

yes u should be able to, but there is a problem. getting the old one off...... most of the time, it is hard to get off the seized bolts on the old exhuast. if u have a flame torch it would help to heat the bolt and then it might be easier to turn it with your big socket wrench and a wrench that fits over the nut. when u r on the ground at home, it is hard to get leverage to take off the stubborn nut and bolts.... u can always give it a try. also it is easier to cut off the old one before u put on the new one (depends on do u wanna keep the old one)
u need a big flat head screw driver and a big channel plyer (to take the exhuast off the hangers) either a 12,13, or 14 mm socket wrench and another one for the bolt.... maybe a hack saw or saw-zaw to cut off the old exhuast |

well i've got a 98, so do you think the bolt will come off easier since it's not as old and rusty as others?

it will still be siezed, i had that happen only after a few months. it can be done, but will be hard....when in doubt buy a dremel type tool, it came in handy with my exhaust repair, and many other projects. The dremel can cut bolts, cut pipe, hangers, etc

Also get some good quality pentrating oil and throughly spray the #### outta them bolts and let it sit for 15 minutes or so before you tackle it. Maybe have the other stuff as a back up though.

From my experience, I'd say use alot of WD-40 and get a ramp or a bunch of bricks so you could ride your car onto it. Use butter to loosen the rubber hangers.
Once you notice that you're stripping the bolt, just stop. Take it to a muffer shop. |

Holds the nuts on, but also keeps them from forming rust welds. You know when you just can't get the #### things off? It's a good idea to put a small quantity on your spark plugs too. Easier on the threads, and you lessen the risk of breaking them off.
