Soak all the nuts w wd40, you'll need a short hand ratchet 13mm to get the superior medial nuts. If the studs come out too, no big deal. You'll need to double nut them to install.
You can get the o2 sensors posteriorly at the exhaust exit site w a long 22mm hand wrench.
Take a breather, attack it in the am. Between my cars and others I've done this job at least 15 times, it's very doable.

Ok guys....Done! No exhaust leaks, no leftover bolts, no check engine lights....now that's it finished it was not that big of a deal....4 hrs on sat and 4hrs today....but im very meticulous and cleaned everything while I had it off the car. I will say at idle it's not much different and in between shifts (pdk) it seems to spudder .....what a great sound it has all other times...and the kit that Europipe sells is first class along with the communication Stef provides!

Yes, I am going to give it a shot. I don't have a lift but Stef said I should be fine. Hopefully I don't run into any snags but its nice to know there are a lot of good people here to help me out if I do.
#54
My biggest headaches was removing and installing exhaust without help....other that that read all of the helpful tips on this tread and Stef is phenomenal in advise (just figure out his 7hr time difference)

What do you mean with "spudder"? Can't find the correct translation for it.

Ok, thanks Jon
There's a big shock wave when you shift gears at 3000 rpm , you can hear it with the stock exhaust as well but with the Epipe it is much more pronounced. There is no break-in time so it won't sound louder with age but it takes some time to get used to all the new sounds.
