Anyone local have one of these suckers I could borrow for some beer?

I have the Snap-On version.




I prefer Captain Morgan over beer, especially the Private Stock.

I have the AWE tool if you need it. I did mine on a lift and absolutely hated it so I couldn't imagine doing it without one

You maybe, I don't mind doing it on jack stands. I have done it a bunch of times that way. Remove the structural cross brace with the front end off the ground on jack stands and there is a bunch more room. Don't remove that cross brace with the front of the car (or SUV in this case) on the ground because you will break the subframe.

Your Q probably doesn't have many miles on it so the nuts should come off pretty easy. The cars with like 65K or more miles will be rusted to hell. I highly recommend that you put high temperature anti-sieze on the exhaust hardware for if you ever have to remove the exhaust later on. Just a helpful suggestion.

Good luck!

Nope. Sorry but I am too busy and will not be able to help anyone that is not already scheduled until next year likely in March.

By the way, save yourself some headache and double check the oxygen sensor bung placement before you go to install those cat-pipes. There were some people that were having issues with the rear O2s hitting againt the cowl area.
