How do i go about removing the Stock cat back exhaust on a 2001 gt with-out cutting it.
Im asking since i will be doing mine this comming week and since im new to this car and have not had time to look under it with a lift ,im wondering what im going to have to do .
i hope you didnt chop that yet. some people just dont like to take there time and tear it apart. i tore my exhaust off my car in one solid piece. is what i did was jacked the car up so i could crawl under it. i then supported the car. i then put a jack and blocking under the rear bumber bracket(not the cover, you'll see if you go under it) i jacked that up until it bottomed out the suspension. then i removed the rear end braces from only the rear end(may have done this before i jacked the car up). i did not remove them completely, just off the rear end and folded them out of the way. so basicly the car is jacked up away from the rear end. i then unbolted the exhaust and wiggled the exhaust until it came out. i did this without any help and it only took about an hour to remove and replace with new. it takes some finess but its possible
(i also put a tranny on with long tubes installed, so i must be patient)
i also took off the shocks. my bad... but thats only 2 more bolts. its not as much work as everyone makes it out to be. i think i took off 4 bolts and jacked the car up away from the axle.
its really not that hard if you know how to use a wrench...
