exhaust tips. . .

so my new racing beat system is supposed to be here monday, im pumped. i jacked the car up today to get a head start on taking the old stuff off. man, its a real bitch. any tips for making it easier taking the old stuff off or anything i should know about putting the new system on? it seems like its going to be pretty straight forward and easy as long as i can get through all the rusted bolts. just as long as i get er all done by next sunday for the autox!! man, im so pumped to get this on!!

Put some WD40 around all of the bolts and have it sit there over night. Sometimes on some really rusty bolts i use the technique i call "leg impact", it pretty much speaks for itself.
