I just bought the HKS Axle-back exhaust from another member on this board. I know it's a pretty straight-foreward install, but the thing is he only gave me the (2) muffler's. What mounting braces (if any) do I need to get? Are there any other parts I need? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Just reuse ur old stock rubber mounts off ur stock exhaust. If you wait until tomorrow, I can show u some pics.

 

should be pretty easy

did it include any nuts or bolts?

if your in the austin area i can help install them for you...

reuse the stock rubber hangers. you will need 4 bolts with nuts and washers to bolt the muffles on though. they need to be about 1 3/4 " long and fit through the holes in the exhaust flanges with not too much play.

you should be able to get the hardware at home depot, a good auto parts store or a muffler shop.

 

your best bet would be NAPA or pep boys

I might be able to find the bolts. Let me know if you need help because we can do it at my buddies.

 

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll probably be heading to Pep Boys tomarrow for those bolts. Brent, I appreciate the offer man, and I'll call you if I run into any trouble with the install; but I'm sure I can knock this out in about 20 or 30 minutes once I get everything together. Peiqinglong, if you have a chance tomarrow, I'd love to see your pics. Thanks again to all!

 

you really have 15w50 oil in your car?....id switch to something in a w30

 

Yea, I only run the 15W-50 in the summer (over 100 degrees daily in H-town) for the better protection. But the car feels really "sluggish" when I use the stuff. When I switch to 10W-30 (and even 5W-30) I can chirp 2nd every time, which seems inpossible when I use the 15W.

 

You get it on? Pics, pics, pics!

 

I'm going to shoot for this Saturday...I can't wait to see them on the car and hear that Growl . I'm going today to get the nuts and bolts from Home Depot. Did you say that the Acura dealership sells extra hangers? I need to go buy those because the exhaust is uneven when installed right? Thanks again!

 

you may need to bend the hangers up or down w/ a big set of channel locks or vice grips. hopefully not.

you wont need extra parts from the dealer though.

 

Cool, thanks for the help man!

 

You get it on yet? I am jealous.

 

I just put them on a few hours ago. I love them already!!! The deep sound is perfect IMHO. After I got them on a went for a little test drive, and the whole time the radio was off and windows down, I still can't get over the sound and looks. Now I always have a when driving. Thnaks again for all the help guys, and thanks for the great deal on the exhaust Brent! You da man

I'll try to post pics, but I'm working till close (1:30 AM) this week, so it might not be till the weekend or early next week
