You will more than likely have to cut the old one out where the pipe goes over the rear axle. Not that hard if you got the right tools.

The only link you will need to install your new exhaust. Its simple really. Maybe 1-2 hours to do.
Also, you might not need to do everything in the instructions (Ex. - cutting bolts if they have rusted on the old exhaust).

ya, exhaust/CAI/SRI all easy mods...it's when you start doing the internals then you get a bit more complicated....

Well I have an ST and yes I had to cut it out. Someone has done it before without cutting it in half but I tried and wasn't able to.

 

[warneej]

sometimes the ST's don't require cutting due to their lack of lunchbox...i enjoy the sawzall personally however

 

[homeboyjames]

i did mine without cutting it was simple

 

[captcurt_18]

yea, I had to cut the pipe on my friends to get it on there.

 

[gonefhsn]

Yeah I just did mine this past Monday...05 ST and had to cu it so it can come over the rear axle...but if you have two people you may not have too

 

[captcurt_18]

^nah dude, i had three people, and it was still undo-able, even with that many.

So , you all recommend 2 people to do this ? The exhaust I ordered from MBRP is suppose to be a direct bolt on or at least I'm hoping so. And it should be here next week sometime as they had to manufacture it after I ordered it .

 

[lightning2nd]

yes, i had someone help me with my mbrp exhaust on my ses w/sap

Lightning2nd , I have the 07 ZX 4 Se with the SAP . Did your exhaust bolt right up without any problems?

 

[gonefhsn]

when you get it it should be in 3 pieces, and you should have no problems with the SAP as long as you let MBRP know when you ordered it...I will have to say that I am happy with the exhaust I got from them...direct bolt on

 

[FocusedSlayer]

Gonefhsn, Sounds good ; about how long did it take you to hook it up ?

 

[gonefhsn]

about 2.5 Hours...but I was doing it by myself...Cjohn364 came over (cuz I didn't call him till then) right after I the stock system out of the car...and Thanks I love the way it sounds and the throttle response is [headbang]

I told them it was for the 2.0l Sedan but I never mentioned anything to them about it having a SAP on it .

But when I went to the web site it sends you to a certain model for the 2.3. So when I called them I told them I needed 1 for the Sedan version and he set me up with a direct replaced .

 

[gonefhsn]

I dont know if there is a diff between there exhaust for SAP and non SAP like there is with some manufacutres..I would call them back and ask. Has it shipped yet?

 

[FocusedSlayer]

Shipping out this morning , I'm gonna call now and see if it's gonna make a difference and hopefully find out .

Ok , I just got off the phone with them and it hasn't shipped out yet so they told me they would check and make sure it would fit with SAP and do any adjustments before it leaves .

Whewwww that was close
