Yeah, I am basically just concerned about getting the car up high enough to get underneath the car to install the exhaust, and the car NOT falling and crushing me

like i said we used jacks for changing flats. i weigh like 200lb and had the car just high enough where i could wiggle my way around. it was really stupid and unsafe but it got the job done and will have to probably do it again (used 3 emergency jacks and 1 ACDelco)....but its like 4 bolts (that are TIGHT!) to take it off and 6 or so to put the exhaust on....all it takes is some muscle and maybe a hacksaw/grinder if it gets stuck (like it did on RiceBurninVTEC's WS for his teg...we were workin on it in the rain outside)

ROFL.

Yeah, it may not be the safest install, but it will hopefully get done.

One hour and counting... I think I might just duck out early if the boss leaves before I do. :naughty:

Better than working on it on Friday night though

Me and Dubs did his new exhaut (Magnaflow) on his civic on a Friday night, right before we went out with the ladies...and taking off a sooty-ass exhaut is not the cleanest thing in the world, so we hosed ourselves off with some ax body spray

hmm, it's a 94, ey? you may be looking at having to grind and drill out the cat bolts, and cutting the bolts holding the muffler to the midpipe. at least i had to.

on my 95 we just had to spray down with wd40 and other crap beforehand....then good old muscle and cussing...of course i dont have to worry about rust and crap here
but they were pretty seized in there
