motor mount install nite mare... ok, i tried it without taking hte header out, the top rear bolt wont move. So today i took the bolts off the header, but it cant come out since the Y is welded to the I pipe ... Anyone have any siggestions? i started this damn thing sunday night and its been nothing but a pita.
Take a hack saw and cut the "Y" about a foot past where they join.
Do your motor mount thing.
Reinstall header and "Y".
Then go down to your local muffler shop and for $30 have a 3 bolt flange welded on

Where are you in nor cal?
I ran into the same thing during my header install. I pulled out the sawzall and cut the Y and I pipe apart. Then, when I was done with the headers, I went up to the local auto supply and got an exhast coupler that was 3" on both sides and a couple u-bolts. It was only a temporary fix until I got the duals done. But any muffler shop can weld them together or flange them for under $50.
