Exhaust DIY questions
Just got a few questions. Just recieved my exhaust today and was just wondering how easy it would be to do it myself. Try to get some ideas before i get up under there not knowing what to do. Any help will be apreciated. Probably be doing it saturday or sunday. Thanks.
Yes it can be done by your self
if you are talking about just axle back,
there are two bolts with springs and
two rubber holder that comes off

make sure part # 13 goes on or it will rattle like ****
also make sure that you lub the bolts (#17s) first with nut buster
or at least WD40 and hammer it a bit
those bolts are not strong as other bolts which will break off easily
and it costs $13 in Honda.
it's an easy 123 job. just need come cautions.

its very easy especially if they gave u the hardware because i got one with out bolts and my stock didnt fit so i had to take to a shop because i didnt have proper tools but its very easy to do yourself. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i got bolts and everything with it. i hope everything goes better than the spring install! we started on it and the never finished, decided to stop because we didnt want to mess up the tie rods. good thing though. had some stuff come up where i needed some money so i had to sell my springs. but im sure this will be a lot easier from what ive read and can see.

dude the exhaust is 100000000000000x easier than spring installs.. all there is to the exahust besides ur aftermarket stuff is bolts.
the whole stock system is just taking bolts off and hangers.. thats it. check the DIYs, its super easy (no experience required)

one more question. my dad and step dad thinks it would be better if i just took it to a shop and got it done, but i dont really want to waste 40-60 dollars if i can just do it myself. i think i can do it myself personally, but how high does the car really need to be off the ground? and do i need to have all sides jacked up at the same time or what?
its just messing with bolts and nuts. your dad and stepdad have no hope in you? damn... show them you can do it like a real man haha
if u can use a wrench and some slack, then your game. have a buddy help
