i will be recieving my Hahn 3 inch catback monday and then i will look for someone to install do u guys have any recommendations i do not wanna do it myself. cause im afraid ill mess something upp.. does mienke do good work?? exhaust shops?

i live in nj any suggestions

 

there's nothing to mess up. if you were closer i would help you put it on, but you're a good 2 hours south of me.

basically, you unbolt the 3 bolts connecting the exhaust to the downpipe. you can now take the old exhaust off. you'll have to make one cut above the rear axle, otherwise it won't fit off. you'll see exactly where. it's really that easy.

once you take off the 3 bolts and make that one cut, the whole exhaust will come right off.

now you're ready to put the new one on. just put it on the same way you took it off. the 3 bolts will connect to the same spot on the downpipe that you took them off. can't miss it. make them snug, but not tight yet. fit the other pipes on, you'll see exactly where the spots for the hangers are. everything should line up no problem.

once you have all the pieces on, just give it a good tighten. start if up, drive around for a while, and then give another good tighten. (wait till it cools if you value the skin on your hands)

that's pretty much it. there's no mechanical or car knowledge involved at all. if you are familiar with the term "righty tighty lefty loosey" you have the skill to do it yourself.

not worth paying someone to do it.

 

yea hes right....


i got my ass raped man.... i payed about a grand installed for my intake and exhaust.

now that ive learned more it truly isn't worth it to pay someone. If you can get a friend. so much better, plus you'll get to learn as well

 

Where Do U Live Man I Will Be At My Dads House He Lives In Newark Are U Anywhere Near There

 

i'm about 40 minutes north of newark... i'm about 10 miles south of the new york state border. where in newark does he live? i used to work on broad street right by penn station so i'm pretty familiar with the area.

 

Well Its In Belleville Actually Which Is Right By Newark. And I Go To Broadway All The Time You Prolly Know Where That Is So If You Ever Wanna Meet Me And Help Me Get It On That Would Be Cool Man..

Also A Little Compensation =]

 

i wouldn't want any money for it. the whole point of someone helping you is so you don't have to pay for it, and can learn to do it yourself. but thanks for offering. how often are you there? i know belleville as well.

 

I Will Be There All Day Today Saturday And All Day Sunday I Will Be Going Back To Jackson Monday.. Thats When I Will Be Getting The Exhaust I Wont Be Back Up There For Another 2 Weeks After That. Unless You Wanted To Come Down To Jackson By Six Flags.?

 

sry if this is a dumb question but what do use to cut the pipe?

 

anything sharp. you can use a hacksaw, a sawzall, any kind of saw that you can get under there pretty much should work, as long as what you're using can cut metal.

 

I wouldn't recommend a hacksaw though. It was taking way too long when I tried a hacksaw on mine. I recommend getting a reciprocating saw. If you don't have one, buy one from an autoparts store and take it back when your done if you don't want to keep it.

 

yea, hacksaw is like a last resort... but it will work if you're patient...

 

NO Mieneke!
