I'm installing a X-pipe tomorrow on my 1999 cobra.

Is there anything I need to know about installing a x-pipe?

What will make things easier?

Any Tips?

Thanks
Mike Morales

Band aids and a 12 pack of beer. Profanity is your freind, it will aid in loosening bolts just as much if not better than PB blaster.

+1 on the PB blaster. That sh1t is amaZAzing. You'll also need a long ass extension for your socket wrench (about a foot or longer) and a swivel for the socket. Do the passenger side first because it's a BITCH.

I would get a buddy to help you with it. It will be so much easier. A couple jacks will help in keeping your catback in place when you unbolt the factory h-pipe. Just put them under your mufflers when you have the car on jack stands.

Install a hoist in your garage.

Thanks everyone for the help.

It took me and my buddy about three hours which included an hour of cool down with a nice beer

Those cats stay hot..

Yes, the passager side was a bitch, but PB Blaster helped

It really wasn't that hard with the right tools. Air gun was nice.
