What tool do I use to remove the rubber squares from the tailpipes hangers? I also notice that my driver side muffler had a hanger on it but the passenger side didn’t have one. So all together I count 3 hangers, should there be 4?

As soon as I get these new tailpipes on, my whole exhaust will be 2 1/2in except my flowtubes, should I get new ones? How much of a difference will they make?

Does anyone have flowtubes they want to sell?

I don't remember but I do think it's 4 hangers. I just pulled the rubber grommets out of the hanger. Took some balls tho, they really don't like to just slide off.

yeah, that is an understatement. I don't think there is a tool for it. You just have to muscle/prybar/cry it out.......sorry man.

But penetrating oil and lubrication always helps.

All right I got everything off, but the muffler is barley going in to the tailpipe. Because there is an extra piece still on the muffler because it was welded on. I was wondering could I expend the end of the tailpipe, to make the muffler go in and then tighten it up with the clamp.

I was also thinking about grinding around the muffler. To make it smaller

Anyone have any suggestions

thanks

I'd just take it to a muffler shop and have them fix it and then weld it.

When you get it finished though, get some sound clips up of that beast.

You guys are going to think I am crazy but when you are dealing with anything rubber on a car that has to slide into place or out of place forget using the penetrating lubes and stick to plain ole KY jelly. Learned this from a friends dad who races NHRA and it works on everything rubber and is not harmful to it like petroleum based lubes are.

I don't think I WANT to be so into cars that I happen to have KY jelly handy.....

What do you mean? You never know when a little KY will be useful.
