ok earlier tonite i got bored n decided to go n remove the cat back..since i should be gettin my new one this week i hope..maybe later today..but anyways..the bolts that hold the cat n the flex..r a little rusted n the things i tryed wont even budge em..n the rubber hangers...how do u remove them..n would i be gettin new ones with the new cat back?
I think you are trying to say the bolts are rusted and you can't get them off.
Well go to a Home Depo or Lowes and get this spray stuff and it'll come right out. Can't remember what it's called just tell an employee that you got a rusted screw that you can't budge. Or get a longer wrench. Don't know about the "rubber hangers"
yea...why r you removing those bolts?...that will just cause more problems for u...the focus cat-back is literally a flex-pipe back...leave that stuff alone.
ok well on the exhaust system..if i got a race header..doesnt that mean i wouldnt need the cat pipe? jus the header..flex...n cat back? i heard about it once on another forum..forgot wut one tho..but is that true?
i had to go to meineke and get them to remove the bolts i tryed everything myself from a torch and wd40 to freaking cocacola.. couldnt get it...but after that its a breeze. get a sawzaw so you can cut the exhaust off right before the muffler, cuz you wont be able to get it out... i didnt do flex pipe yet... soon though, im going illegal too with a race header.. all youll need then is a flex then yer done iwht exhaust.
Well I live in California and their emissions laws suck so with a shorty header, cat pipe, flex pipe, and cat-back do you think I could still pass emissions?
cool man..n yea i tryed wd40 too..but that didnt work..n i was sick of gettin freakin rust on my face..i was about to tear the thing of the hangers...but i calmed down.lol....n goin illegal..way cool!..badboyz! lol
by cat-pipe...do you mean off-road pipe...or high flow cat...the cat will pass visual...the orp...if it does your lucky as hell because the fines get damn heavy.
well we got one of those but since we moved a couple months ago..shyt is hidden
