Nice...

Just installed Flowmaster American Thunder axle backs this weekend as well. Yep, hands are beat up, not to mention my chest where the OEM exhast came crashing down on me when I was yanking on it and it gave way...

Now she sounds like a muscle car should.

Yeah, my back is all scratched up also from slidding around under my car cause my sister lent my creeper to my brother inlaw and he has not returned it yet.

At least it hit your chest. I was doing that before for a friend of mine and the exhaust hit my noise. THAT hurt like a m***er f***er.

this is a known issue with the ZPP header/dp combo, the other problem is the bolts coming loose and coming off.. i need to figure out how to fix it and the fix for the bolts is locking nut thingies (not sure of real terminology, there is a thread on it somewhere)

still need to get a new exhaust for my car so i can get rid of this Megan that isnt MADE for my car..

Go here :
http://www.canpages.ca/page/AB/calga...e/1754804.html

Get Grade 8 nuts, bolts, washers, and LOCK washers.

I put them on my car and never had a problem.

Just make sure they are the right length. I think 2 1/2 inch is the right length if memory serves me right.
