New exhaust arrived today I ordered the v6 catback from Jim@EAD and it arrived today. My question is, is it possible to install myself if I only have a standard jack and two ramps which i think only the back two wheels have enough clearance to go up? Also about how long would you guys say it would take for someone who has never delt with installation to install a magnaflow bolton kit? thanks for the help!!!

I would imagine you can do it yourself in a couple hours with the correct wrenches and a couple jack stands for safety. I did with minimal tools/jacks so it can be done.

pretty simple. if it has and s-pipe included which bolts infront of the long intermediate pipe then you just make a cur right after the cat and get the old stuff outta there

hey guys. im in the middle of installing the exhaust and i noticed that at the small S pipe that comes out ofb the cat, there is some kind of sensor line or something coming out of it. there is no attaatchment for this line on the new magnaflow pipe. what did you guys do with your exhausts and should i just leave the old pipe on and then continue from there with the new ones, or will this severely hurt the performance of the new exhaust?

like i said before, the price i payed was NOWHERE near that. If I would have paid over $550 I would have never gotten it. In magnaflows defense though, the system sounds INCREDIBLE for a v6. very nice low rumble. Had my dad drive it around the block for me so I could see how it looked and hear it. I was able to tell when he was at each corner because of the low rumble of first gear. Took it on the highway and drove normal, no rasp at all. I am very happy with this system
