How hard is it to fit this, just like it is.

Think I'll give it a shot. It's only $73 shipped to my door.

mine is fully welded 1 peice from end to end and it wasnt difficult at all to get in, all you need to drop is your rear sway bar on the passanger side other than that its a peice of cake..

That's a good deal. I don't think I could ship you mine for that amount.

I do have the rest of the exhaust in mint shape... haha


IIRC, I had to remove the sway bar to get the exhaust out. I might have just unbolted the passenger side, I don't remember for sure. It didn't seem very difficult.

I know it's mint...I got the catalytic converter and the darn thing looks brand new. Everything I got off that car looks exceptional.

Exhaust isn't hard, but it's MUCH easier with two people. maybe three total for that exhaust. have one hold up the front at the flange and one hold up the muffler while you attach all the rubber hangers. if I have to do it myself, I balance one end on a jackstand, then lay under the car with the rest of the exhaust on mah bigfatbelleh. can easily move it up and down that way and then hook up the rubber hangers one at a time.

+1 and having a crawler helps a ton so that you can move down the exhaust easily to hang it.

I never saw a size. But it looks like it is crush bent, so even if it's 3" piping....the corners look like they drop down to 2". For the price, I'd say looks like a decent stock replacement. Hope it is at least as good as it looks.

Took delivery today and hooked it up in no time. It's worth the money (very OEM like) and it's as quiet as I expected. All I want now is a pair of tips for the muffler.
