ok guys, im going to be doing a turbo swap this weekend and i need to remove my exhaust because i have to change it to a full 3" that my friend has, and we want to switch.
now, is there any way to remove the stock exhaust myself without cutting anything?
i see the 2 bolts that holds it with the DP, but i dont see where i can just take it off since the axle beam basically goes under the exhaust. or if i cut it where do i cut it?
also, can i put somethign to hold the dp in place for a couple days??
need some opinions here, gotta figure something out

note: yes i know its going to be loud as ***, its only till sat or sun.

 

yea u need to remove that axle beam pretty much, doubt its worth the hassle but someone else told me its easy.

i just got a 2nd stock exhaust off someone and they just cut it near the muffler, easy weld point.

i would suggest some metal wire ghettorigged to hold the dp in place

 

lol ill see what i do. and i has my axle beam replaced, *** should of told them to do it then.

 

ouch. why'd u need it replaced? also whys the exhaust gotta be in one piece?

 

it was bent and it looked like i was cambered up the ass. and my tires werent even straight, they were bent so it was like my tires were just scraping the floor instead of rolling. 3 pairs of tires in 2 months to say the least.

also, i dont care if i have to cut the exhaust, just dont have the tools to lol

 

you might be able to get it to drop enough if you unbolt the shocks. just watch that you dont stress the brake lines

 

imma be going through some mission for that... a muffler shop tried charging me like $150 to remove it, i was like wtf..... saying it takes 2 hours

 

look in the how to section there is one that doesnt involve cutting but yeah ull have to take tires and shocks and it should clear

 

the brake line would have to be removed as well. i have a sawzall i can bring on saturday

imma look now but dam i dont wanna go through that mission

 

yes bring it please! imma be working on it all fuking weekend from as soon as i open my eyes till i close them !

 

haha we tried to do it when replacing mine and we took out lh spring and almost brake line and couldnt get it out so we just cut it in half lol new one was split fit so alot easier to install

 

you better buy me lunch bro

 

lol my mom will make bbq or ill order pizza. and beer, lots of beer. lol

im just gonna do that lol **** it.

 

Mmmm turbo swap!! Jealous

 

I just went thru this. Unless u want to remove the beam and reinstall/bleed brakes and hope that u don't **** anything up. Just goto auto supply store and buy a tailpipe chain style pipe cutter and goto town. Makes nice ez strait cut to weld back later

 

winning
that's what i did with my stocker, chopped it before it goes over the axle.

 

Check with qwik. I'm pretty sure in his shop he drops the axle beam to pull the old exhaust
