I just wanted to let everyone know that I hate those rubber exhaust hangers. How does one "more easily" take off the muffler without cursing so loud the neighbors will call the cops.

 

wd-40

 

+1 and let sit overnight!

 

well i was so excited to change the exhaust i couldn't wait overnite.... u know that feeling...

 

what exhaust did you put on?

 

why do people insist on doing it the hard way?

9 bolts and youll have the hanger supports off the car. You wont have to hassle the supports from underneath the vehicle.

Just remove the hanger supports (3 10mm bolts on rear, a 10mm bolt on RR and another bolt on the B pipe) itll make it easier to take the hangers/supports off the stock exhaust and transfer them the new exhuast.

once off the car, use wd-40 and the twist method to get the hangers off the supports.

 

"trying" to put on the nismo.... so im going to z car garage tmr.

 

Silicone spray (like that Wet N' Black stuff they sell for tires at Wal-Mart) will lube it up better than WD-40. Little squirt of that stuff and it'll slide off so easy you'll be wanting to keep a bottle in the nightstand.

 

dude its so easy...use some wd40 or some ky you know what ever lube you got and pull it off..push it out instead of pulling...works better

 

use the black stuff. its better than WD40. liquid wrench is nice too
Pull the hang back and forth so the lube goes inside and u can also use a wrench and hit the hanger and the liquid will seep inside. Once you get it off, use lithium grease on the hanger so it comes off ez next time. I change exhausts alot lol

 

i hated them too...finally got them off..i only removed the bolt from the back one on the passenger side...my hair had so much grease/bugs/dirt in it from laying on the garage floor for 3 hours i had to take 2 showers to get it all out

 

first i used wd40 when i installed my nismo exhausts, but then had a change of heart to put in the greddy evo2, but from my expierence with wd40 i went with some ky jelly and let me tell you those work better then wd40... you knoe apply some ky inside n out (lol) and work it! and it will come right out...

 

soap ftw

I use a pry bar, using the exhaust pipes coming out of the muffler as the fulcrum and the old muffler falls on my chest in about 30 seconds.

I used liquid wrench, it still took a lot of work. I'll say it now, "I'm not modding my next car...at all".

 

haha. yeah i tried for like 20 minutes and i called up Z car Garage in SJ thursday and went to them on friday. great service btw!

 

I didn't use any tools. It just takes time, patience and a lot of lube just like **** sex.
