I'm looking at the exhaust on my '97 and was wondering what parts I have to remove when installing/uninstalling a Trust exhaust. I think I only have to go back four feet or so through the system but want to make sure.
Thanks,

97 with Apex'i WS Catback.. requires little modification that any muffler shop can do.. but it looks .. sounds.. and performs great.. great top end pull..

 

i thought Apexi doesn't make the WS for a 97.

 

My Greddy cat-back was an easy bolt-on. Nothing but the old exhaust had to be removed. IMHO, the only reason to go to a muffler shop would be if the Thrust has to be welded in.

If you do it yourself, it helps to get the car up as high as possible. I used a friend's car lift.

 

apparently it does my friend..

 

ah, you and your muffler shop are very clever.

 

no.. not my max.. thats theblue's maxima..

 

ok, then he's clever.

 

a lot of people have done it.. Dallas from Warpspeed has done it on someone else's max.. Eric J. has done it to his 97 Max.. like i said.. nothign a good muffler shop can't compensate for

 

Or atleast it was...before it was chopped. I like those 18" SE wheels.

Here's the kicker - Nissan wanted to charge me over $200 to do this. I explained that I needed to have to exhausts switched and they said that they would require like two hours labour. I told her it was a bolt on and she indicated that she knew what had to be done, and the applicable mechanic's time to do it.
So I gave it a shot last night and it only took 10 minutes to take off. The bolts were rusted on, so that time includes breaking the bolts, which was the hardest thing to do (I didn't think they would break). Therefore I figured that Nissan knew more than me (wrong) and I had to have done something wrong. I'm glad that's all there is too it. By the way, I used a couple of jack stands that cost $20 and my car has more than enough room for me under there. Thanks for all your advice (and other commentary).
