Y-pipe install question
Y-pipe install question
ok i got my y pipe yesterday and im trying to put it on now. car is on ramps and all the bolts have been sprayed down with WD40. i removed the metal cover thing that covers the whole thing.
SO.....
how the hell do you get to the bolts that connect pipe to rear manifold? i can see them but they are behind the precat and i cant get to them.
and im still worried about snapping the bolts cause they are REALLY rusted. would using a wire brush on them help any? or just lots of WD40?

when i installed my y-pipe i used a rachet extenison with the universal joint attached to it and i got up in there pretty easily...........i also used a breaker bar actually it was a small pipe and slid it over the rachet and they came out pretty easy........
hope this helps you..
