RB Exhaust
This is the second week my friend bummed out on helping me replace my exhaust. I have the RB exhaust all waiting to go in, is this somthing an average joe like me can replace with just a couplea socket wrenches? Or am I going to need an impact wrench to get the old bolts off, I can't do it today as my friend has a heated shop and I have a garage that is 20 degrees..

I did with a friend... Some bolts were rusted on good, thus I pulled out the grinder and taught those bolts a lesson... Other than that, there should be no problems--Oh wait--one more, the top middle bolt of the header to middle section was a bitch, you prob need 2 ppl for this problem

A shop will make the install head ache free, but if you have the proper tools and a good mechanical knowledge, it should not take much more than an hour or two in you drive way (or garage)

Soak the old bolts in WD-40 real good. GIve it to em once per hour for a few hours before starting. Then they should come out really easy. If not, Hit em with a torch. Get em red and then they'll come out. (Careful round the gas.) If not. Cut em out.
I really think it's tacky to use rusted bolts on a fresh exhaust. I like to keep everything nice. If you do too, put a good ammont of anti-seize on your new bolts.
