Help fitting a standard exhaust on a 1.4 sohc

Post by Paul666 »

Hey just hoping someone can give me a pointer on fitting exhaust from cat back. As far as i can see its got a mid section and also the back box but is it really as easy as it looks to fit a standard one back on. Ie undo the bracket that clamps mid section to cat and also the bracket that connects the backbox to mid section just above back axle. Do the new one just slide together put sum holts firegum on when connecting the sections together then clamp it together with brackets and put on hangers then bobs your uncle. Just cant see it being as easy as that lol. Thanks for your help in advance

yea urmm if you dont want to use it again easiest way is to cut it off orrrr just keep banging away at it with a hammer, or ram a screw driver / chissel in the split to try break the seal.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)
