need some help

k, im in need of a new muffler, so i got the hp racing bolt on rear section to replace mine....


to install it, can i just un bolt my existing one and bolt on the rear section? it looks pretty high, so do i really reall need to lift my car up? cuz my friend has jack stands, but i dont wanna bother him...also, he said i have to work with some springs inside the rear bolt on, is that true? cant i just bolt it into place.


thanks

i dunno about the bolting part but it would be a whole lot easier if you jack up your car. actually i think you have to anyway

IDQcivic should not be trusted
I didn't need a jack for mine, it was kinda a tight space but you should be allright.

it'll definitely be a lot easier if u jack up ur car...

just get two jackstand (you should have one that came with ur car) and place it a the rear points.. just make sure u have it secure at a flat surface so the car doesn't just drop on ya... anyway becareful about it.. I wish i can give u more tips but I dont know if it'll be just a direct bolt on or not... hopefully it is so u dont have to weld anything on...

my suggestion, go take a good look at how the muffle is attached on.

thanks!

ya, ima try it w/o jack stands at first and worst comes to worst, i'll prop it up..

the muffler is a direct bolt on, onto the rear section...but is there a spring inside the piping? that's what my friend said...
