I can't tell you yet but when reassembling you must have new gaskets/seals. I understand the dealer is supposed to sell them at $3.95 each wheel (don't know what our stealership will charge). I will not be doing mine for a few weeks. There is a whole section on the TMPS in the service manual. I hope you downloaded it when it was available. If not I'll make you a disk when I get back from my mini vacation.

Gill, where did you get the front mud guards? I think I already have the rears (?) but would be interested in prepainted fronts.

flip702

I inquired about these as well from the link that was posted... they don't have any in BB.. ...

bran702

Anyone know where I can get this thing installed?

do you guys have a Midas nearby? I know some guys have gotten their exhausts installed there for about $40-$50.

Just keep in mind that the OEM remains in one piece so it might be a bit difficult to transport home in your 8.
OR you could invite a few guys over and knock it out that way.

^ I called they said "no cat no install"

Then he said " ITS AGAINTS THE LAW" and hung up on me LMAO

Phils house... It only takes about an hour or so... Make sure you have all the little parts before you go taking the old one off...

It will not take long, about an hour. Your welcome to install it at my house as I have all the tools (and I am sure we can get help) and the knowledge but can''t get on my back any more. I'm gone until Monday but would be happy to host you next weekend if you can wait. It's cheaper on a DIY then paying someone for something that is that easy. Look in the box and see if they included the gaskets if not do yourself a favor and acquire them before the install (Murphy says that if it can tear it will - if it's not broken it will be) .

Jason, you need to stop by my office before noon tomorrow (leaving at 11am) to pick up something that you purchased and may not know about yet. It's fun spending your money.

Let's see, this week I bought the Cobb AP, three gauge pod, mid pipe with resonator and about $1000.00 worth of nothing (little mods and parts). I hope I get to the c/c bill before Nancy sees it . Now I guess I'll look at Gills front mud guards and make sure I want them.

1000 dollars of nothing lol, thats a lot of cash on nothing....? new body kit? exterior accents?

bran! (sorry i don't recall your RL name :/) unless you have installed an exhaust before i would suggest not doing it...i tried doing my previous install and the spring loaded bolts took us hours to get back on.

unless you feel confident doing it yourself then i would suggest either having someone there that has done it before, or take it to the shop.

Sorry Phil, i believe the ones from ebay are only in WB, SS, and LY. But that link that Marco posted...

I installed mine and Jason MX193 installed his - I think Jason even posted pictures of the install. I hate to tell you Jordan but the exhaust is one of the easiest installs.

anet1737

yup, our install was like 20min

mx193

Having all the tools and the little parts help the process... It is pretty easy... Having someone hand you tools also makes it go by pretty quick... I had my daughter help me and she is 11...

yeah , well the 1 problem i had was that i had no way to properly compress the springs that are on the stock exhaust. we used pliers for a while and then tried vice grips but there was only 1 problem. we didn't put the washers on each side of the springs, that is really the part that makes it easy. if we had known to put washers around the springs and then used the vice grips, then it would have most definitely taken a much shorter time.

if i had to do it again im sure it would only take me 45 mins or so. i only said that because if bran had never done something like that, as i had, its much harder when you've never done something like that.
