All,

My 996 "Sports sounding" exhaust has arrived - yeah.. But the usual people like camtune, GT1 etc are saying end of next week.. I want them on NOW! :-)

Anyone know anywhere that might be interested in doing it tomorrow? Happy to travel a little way!

Cheers

Nick

Is it the whole system, from headers, cats etc, ot just the back end? If just the back end, do it yourself - it will be pretty easy.

John, I would like to but the car needs to be on a ramp etc and I just don't have the facilities! It is just the silencers!

Cheers

Seriously Nick, just a jack will do it - you don't need ramps. If it is just silencers, Kwit Fit will be able to do it it 15 minutes!

f you have any sort of garage / driveway, but a decent jack (Machine Mart or Costco) and a half decent metric socket sset. A can of WD40 or similar penetrating oil. The new silensers should have come with a fresh set of nuts/clips etc. If not, a few quid from the OPC (get them BEFORE you take the old ones off!!).

Will take you about an hour.

Spend money saved on the tools + beer!!

Whilst it is an easy..ish job, if the bolts are rusted/seized like they were on mine then it might require the helping hand of someone with various air tools to 'crack' the seized bolt.

Kwik Fit will not fit a part not supplied by them.
