ramp or axle stands mate, its the only way you will learn with DIY :p

its pretty easy to do use some exhaust paste and putty to connect he pipes to make it air tight and you can go wrong :y:

its so easy to do matey.
you need a jack, axle stands and something to put under a wheel to stop the car from moving.
you will also need 2 13mm spanners and some exhaust putty.

jack the passenger side of the car up via the correct points, place axle stands under the car, to suport the car and stop it from falling (front and rear on passenger side).
loosen the clamp from the back box to the centre section.
remove remove rubbers that hang the system to the car, then slide under the middle of the car from under the passenger side, loosen the clamp in the middle.
hang the new centre section on the rubbers, place some putty on the joint and inside the clamp, nip clamp together for now.
fit rear box on the rubber hangers, then place some putty on the centre section/backbox joint. slide this together as far as possible, tighten the clamp.
enusre system sits correct in the bumper cut out.
go back to middle section clamp and tighten fully.
start the car and allow to warm up to cure the putty for 5 mins, then listen/feel for any leaks.
if its all ok, turn off engine. take car of the axles stands and lower.

jobs a gud un ;)

will take an hour tops for someone that has never done it before, 5 mins when you know what your doing ;)

nice boz :y:

use tie wraps and new rubbers if the tailpipe doesnt hang right :p

[DAN-VTS]

Na he wont need to, its piper :p new rubbers are a must tho haha. I fitted my piper backbox today, looks and sounds mint!!! Piper sent new rubbers with my backbox :y:

[Predator_R32]

i have a magnex and needed one tie wrap, and used the old rubbers as they were pretty new anyway, still want some new ones thoug, i think ill invest in some powerflex ones :p pretty stupid you dont actually get new rubbers with the exhaust, pay bloody enough i know that for one thing, i got one with mine that was for the centre section, tight buggers :p

[boz]

lol
i forgot to mention new rubbers, just assumed everyone would think of that :)

powerflex rubbers are supost to be pritty good, not sure what they are like to fit, lol i have nearly put a screw driver threw my wrist once trying to fit new rubbers, nearly stabbed myself in the eye once when fitting uprated ones to my escort rs turbo, slipped and the point of the screwdriver his my eyebrow canny hard :oops: so be careful lol

also used a tie wrap on mine Pred :p left hand side i guess, closest to the zorst!

[boz]

i have had my system on the vtr and now on the vts and they were both fine:omg:
