I've got an HKS drager axleback exhaust coming today and i've got my 99 2.3 CL jacked up and i've been looking at the 2 spring loaded bolts on the rear section and trying to figure out the best way to get them off (i dont have any air tools available unfortunately). Any ideas on how to make removal of these bolts easier? thanks alot guys

i had to use larger nuts and bolts to put mine together, but i got the complete cat back, not the just the rear section. the springs arent really under much pressure. just use 2 wrenches or breaker bar. sprayin the bolts up with penetrating oil would be a good idea also. i would buy new bolts to put back in.

they came off real easy for me. If I was you I would be more concerned with getting that thing back on the hangers, it was a pain in my ass

thx for the help guys.

my dad and i got the whole stock assembly off and the new exhaust installed in about an hour so it wasn't too bad. The hardest part was getting the bolts started, after that it was easy.

The hangers were hard to get off, but i put a small coating of WD-40 on the rubber so the new hangers slid right in without any problems at all.

thanks again!

P.S. I loooooove how this exhaust sounds, its so beastly and full and low and not ricer. yahoo!
