Default Need a hand installing my test pipes

Anyone? Or recommend a shop in Oregon that is willing to do it? I can almost get the stock cats off, but there is one freaking bolt that is impossible for me to get off with my lousy hand tools laying on my back under the car sitting on jack stands

Willing to pay/buy beer/lunch whatever...

I'm a bit far away from driving over to help, but TP's are very doable...you just need a decent assortment of extensions - a few of the nuts that were hardest to get to, I had to get with a few extension running near the Steering column from the front of the engine.

g'luck!

I'll be up near the Seattle area weekend of September 8th for my buddies bday. The 07's have new flanges, the one bolt at the top closest to the outside of the car on each side... is a b!tch to get loose. I was literally bending my wrench and it wouldn't break the bolt loose, lol :/

did you spray them down w/ something like WD40 or liquid Wrench? (I sprayed all the botls down the night before, and everything came off easy)

Well I got these put on at a local exhaust shop all hush hush under the table like... lol They had to heat the manifolds and use a breaker bar to get that annoying f!cker loose that I couldn't budge.

But it was worth it... exhaust sounds freaking awesome... absolutely NO rasp

<-- me leaving the shop
