I got another rx7 this week so Im tryn to get my exhaust off. How can I remove the top middle bolt on the rb header piece where it connects to the presilencer. I can get a box wrench on it but theres no room to turn it. Im strugglin with it someone please tell me Im overlooking an easy solution. Also Im working on the ground so this may have a lil to do with my troubles. Thanks for any input.

 

Header to presilencer should only be two bolts. When you say middle it makes it seem like there are three or more.

Edit: My bad, didn't realize you were running RoadRace version.

 

Remove the entire exhaust as an assembly. Undo the header then just unhook it from the hangers and drag it out from under the car.

 

lol never thought to do that but anyway I got that bolt free, now I unscrewed 4 bolts from the header and it seems like it stuck. Woulld they hae glued it or w/e?

 

Im thinking I should just pry it apart, must be some type of sealant on there.

 

ok so header is off air pump gpne on new car and now theres a shield above the stock header holding me up.

 

10mm nut on top and both sides.

 

are any of them screwed into the block, i have all 4 header bolts off the piece moves a lil but wont budge. Found the bolt on top but cant find the side 2

 

just got the headers on the new car, what a pain in the ***. but wow when i started it i was like holy **** this is loud. I was almost scared to move it, she was screaming..

 

Headers are by far the biggest performance increase on an na right with a catback exhaust.

I had the streetable rb header and borla catback exhaust on my s4 na,.straight pipe in between no cat.

Huge difference, its loudere because its actually getting good flow, stock exhaust is much smaller piping.

 

thanks for your help i did this on the new cars stock exhaust, pnly prob the o2 sensor wouldnt come off so it took some convincing. I ended up haing to split the exhaust in 2 so I could spin the cats toward the drivers side and it fell right out.
