How easy is it to fit an exhaust system yourself?

[big_mike_vts]

As above really. Is it something you can do yourself or is it a job better left to professionals?

The kit would consist of the usual

cat/conecting pipe
front silencer
rear silencer


Its all direct fit so no univesal welding shite will be needed

Cheers

Easy enough to do yourself mate. Just a case of unbolting the old one and bolting on the new one. Be prepared to be layed on your back under the car for a while though and mine took a bit of adjusting to get it sat right.
Make sure you use a decent set of axle stands if you diy too.

easy peasy... the hardest bit is making sure everything is lined up correctly so the system does not make contact with the underside of the car or rear bumper.

if you've got axle stands and a proper jack I'd suggest using the saxo jack to aid you in raising and holding the system in place whilst you're tightening up the bolts :y:

easy mate, just bolts :)

Very easy if you have a ramp and replacement fittings on standby.

I did it for the first time and found it really easy, unbolt old zaust at monifold (2 x 10mm bolts), bolt new exhaust on, hang up the exhaust rubbers on the mounts under the car

jobs a good en!

as said i trolley jacked mine up, then got axel stands in there, best place to put your axel stands is on the front wishbones where they are mounted to the chassis of the car :y:


also make sure you buy a new exhaust gasket and fitting kit, a full kit with gasket included can be bought at kamracing.co.uk
