Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance

well, good luck sewing them together. i tried that and the thread just busts through the vinyl, especially if its old vinyl. but to answer your question, mine just pulled right off. the hard part is removing the hog rings. you will need a beefy set of wire cutters, and then start going to town. id just save up and buy new upholstery, now is definately the time to replace it.

nope, no problems with the exhaust. i got the headers from jegs.com they were pretty cheap. the exhaust i had custom made buy a guy at an exhaust shop. i just have dumps though, no tail pipes.
