got all the bolts off the header and everything was going ood. i was unable to get the two bolts off the 2nd cat to drop it all in one piece. it was a real pain in the f''''n ***. i wound up putting everything back together again and wasted my day. i plan on heating them next time, the bolts after the second cat, and basically burning them off the freekin thing. anyone got any better ideas. i had all the right tools. Airgun etc.....

 

there's a great product called PB Blaster, best thing for helping free up stuck nuts and bolts. Get a can of that, and spray the hell outta that nut, then let it soak for a while (hour or so), then have at it

 

i find the best way to use the pb blaster is to spray it and let it soak and then knock the bolt a little and spray again and let it soak and see if it comes off, repeat until it comes off

 

or if your swole like me, just bust out the regular 17mm box wrench and give it a tug

 

what i did was get a wrench; put it on and stuck my foot under the card (on the wrench) and pushed the hell outta it; it broke free pretty easliy

 

Isn't that bolt a 16mm though Cause I got mine off with a 16mm Snapon

 

don't believe so, i could swear is 17mm, just took it off saturday cause i had to drop my dp to do my IM swap

 

Not trying to hijack thread but since we are on dp/header topic. Does the rrm header bolt to stock downpipe? if so where can i get the gasket for it? the hardest thing for me was taken the damn o2 sensor of the cat lol.

 

yes, rrm bolts to stock downpipe, but i wouldn't keep the stocker for long, try to get a buschur dp and you'll be doing much better

gasket? i forget what shape/size it is, best bet is stealership

 

no doubt......you know those plastic screws for your wheel liner? 1.47 / piece

 

Sorry if about going off topic but....

went to dealership to see how much that carbon fiber dash piece was (like what the ralliart has)....he told me $255 because it was a special order...give me a break, may as well just order that 16 piece carbon fiber dash set. Just had to tell you guys about that...

Sorry about that, Back on topic now...
