All you need to do is un bolt the old one and bolt the new one back in. Sometimes it helps to loosen the cat back so that you have some more wiggle room under there. Also, make sure you have a few socket extensions and maybe a swivel.<br /><br />Just grab a 12 pack and invite one of your wrenching buds over <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jdub07</b> <br /><small>Member # 2728</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,5,19,17,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> is it new or used? last x-pipe i bought was used and the cups were ovaled.
