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)

i did the swap on my own, and had no problem with it. you should be fine. just make sure that you tighten everything down again after you drive it.

 

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.
