3 hours of swearing doing things twice on one one side , and an hour to do the other . You ll need a trolley jack , a socket set , a tourqe set and a crow bar .Oh and some goggles if you dont want rust inyour eyes .
- Jack the car at the rear of the side you are working on after having removed the rear wheel and the rear undertray .
- Unscrew the wheel arch liner just enough to get a socket through to the side rear box nuts .
- Undo all the nuts on the exhaust box and remove all the hangers/rubbers and their mounts from the underside of the boot floor .
- Unbolt the exhaust clamp and get wiggling . Use a crow bar to leaver the next straight section downwards to give you enough room to slide the rear box up and off .
- remove the rubber s from the mounts
-Slide the rubbers and mount onto the new exhaust . Line it up in the whole and check that it sits correctly .( you may need to bend the hangers slightly )
-Slide the new box onto its mating pipe using exhaust paste to seal .
-Rebolt the mounts to the underside of the boot floor with the new exhaust attached . ( you cant slide the new boxes into the mounts when they are attached to the car )
- Tighten up the exhaust clamps and refit everything .
_ Prepare to have an argument with your neighbours ;P
