How do you get the stock muffler off? My old one cracked and I'm sitting here with the new one and I cant get it off. Do you have to remove more pieces under the car or can you angle it through?


helppp lol

 

someoneee lol ive got the old one just hanging there and i need to go to work soon

 

It's hanging by the hangers. Have you removed them?

 

You need to jack the car up about 3-4 feet in the air to get the axel-back over the rear beam.

 

**** so i need a lift...

 

i got mine off and on with a simple jack probably only 1-1.5 feet off the ground

 

It should be bolted by two bolts just over the rear beam, and hung on 3 hangers.

If you remove the rear passenger wheel you might have easier acces to the flange section

 

Yeah I tried that, I got the bolts and hinges off i just cant get it through the narrow opening on the suspension...

i dont see how you got it wrestled through feldman lol.

 

It might be rusted together...hammer and flat head screw driver to pry it.

I fit a 3" exhaust through there with no rubbing or bumping

 

Like I said, you need a lot of ground clearance to rotate the rear section up over the rear beam.

 

wtf you are god lol.

well i gotta go to work so i just bolted the cracked one back on.

the clamp that bolts the muffler to the next pipe just seems to big to get through the opening unless like someone else said, the car is really high in the air.

 

yeah not alot of room, but I think its rusted together.

 

check your exhaust hangers..make sure they are all loose...

it should be a basic procedure...

 

There should be 2 bolts that need removal then apply some brake fluid cleaner to clean & loosen the pipe with some sideway jerkin you should be able to remove the muffler!

 

No, it can be done with jack stands and a real jack! Do not support the rear axle, if you can't get it up (sounds familiar?) use a piece of wood on the jack for extra height! Or give your jack some Viagra/Extenz !
Two nuts at the flange and the three rubber hangars and 1 with a bolt in it! that's it!
