so as the title implies i started the long tubes today, and of course cant do nothing without somethin makin it a PIA. so for starters when i was doin the passenger side i got all the studs out except one which refuses to come out. done tried PB blaster and everything short of heating the stud up, but im not about to heat an aluminum cylinder head up with a torch. and then to make things worse which it wasn't his fault because of the circumstances but as my roommate was workin on the driver side stock manifold to get it off, the egr tube just twisted up instead of unscrewing. and then i could get the steering shaft off cause as we were workin on it through the day the hose on the alignment rack blew off for the middle part of the lift so i could get the front tires off the ground. but at least i got all the exhaust off now and just need to get the new on.
