(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Stock catback removal - tips, tricks, gotchas? Got a catback on the way for my ride. I know it should be pretty easy to put on since it's in 4 pieces. Any tips, tricks, or gotchas on getting the stock catback off? Thanks, and I'll reply back when I'm done if I find something that wasn't already mentioned.

| Not Ranked : 0 score ^^^ what he said.. since your car is new it should unbolt easy.. i will say its nice to spray the hanger with wd40 to make getting the exhaust off the hangers easier and putting the new one on. Also it takes a little contortioning to get the rear oem muffler section off if your not up on a lift.

I got the Magnaflow, like the low tone without the raspy or loud sound... I'm too damned old to sound like a ricer. The UR/OBX kit sounds pretty nice too though!!

| Not Ranked : 0 score I thought I had heard somewhere that cutting was required to get the catback off gen 2. That is good news if it just unbolts. OP, let us know how it sounds, since you're probably the only one who will have that exhaust on MSF. For once I am not jelly, I'd settle for some nice tips on my stock exhaust, coming soon. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I really hope you are joking about how much you paid. The install is really easy, especially if you have a lift. Hardest part, like everyone is saying, is getting the stock exhaust off the hangers but just lube it with some wd40 or pb blaster and you're golden. Also guiding the rear section through the exhaust tunnel is kind of a pain in the ass. If you don't have a set of direction go to the corksport website and follow there instructions for their catback, it will be essentially the same. About the Autoexe stuff, it seems like there are quality products out there for half the price, imho. Also dude, not to be rude but there are threads for all this stuff already. Nevermind, just read that you were joking about the Autoexe, i am face-palming now haha
