So I finally receive my catback and UPR off road x-pipe yesterday. Perfect day outside today and I have the dayoff of work so I pull out the rhino ramps and drive up the ramps backward. I begin the removal of the stock catback at about 1 pm. It takes a total of 5 minutes to get it off. I start the car and drive off the ramps. Now I drive up them foward to lift the front in the air to remove the x-pipe. Driver side bolts come out nice and easy. I get to the passenger side and take out the back bolt first, comes off nice. Now the front bolt. SON OF A F*CKING B*TCH. I went from using extensions to my sockets to breaker bars to everything I could possibly think of to get this bolt off, no luck. So here it is 8 pm and my car sits out infront of my house with the stock x-pipe still on and the bolt is rounded off (and it's the only bolt left in). :nonono: So now I have to take it to Meineke (or another muffler shop) to have them take the bolt off for me with a inpact wrench.
I have a few questions about the x-pipe install. I noticed that there are 2 plastic plugs one for each side before the precats and two right after the cats one of each side as well. These are connected to metal plugs that enter the stock x-pipe. I unplugged all four of these plastic plugs but the metal plugs are still in the factory x-pipe. Looking at the offroad x-pipe, I notice there are 4 holes drilled with revets that these would fit in perfectly. Not to sound like an idiot or anything, but I'm assuming I need to unscrew these metal plugs and screw them into the offroad x-pipe and plug the plastic plugs back into them correct?
Sorry, it's been a long day. :bash:
