Im pretty sure installing an exhaust system you just have to take off bolts take the old exhaust off and put the other one on. Is that true? Also is it the same with headers? Or is there welding required for that.If its just all bolt on I will install it myself. But if there is welding Im not even gonna try that.
If you order the correct parts, you should be able to install a complete exhaust system including headers without welding. There are several factors to consider. First, the type of vehicle involved. If the vehicle is popular and allot of 'aftermarket' exhaust systems are available, this reduces cost and increases the likely hood of 'good fitting components. Next, some vehicles are easier to work on than others and parts are available on a walk-in basis rather than mail-order only. When 'walk-in' purchasing is possible, you often have the benefit of knowledgeable sales staff to aide with questions and often offer good suggestions. Before you begin dismantling the old system, be sure to assemble the replacement system to make sure you have all the necessary pieces, otherwise you may not have transportation to get pieces needed to finish the job! That's about it, except, often success is enhanced by spending a few more dollars and using name brand parts, or complete kits. Good luck and be careful to 'stabilize' your vehicle before crawling beneath it!
r u installing an entire exhaust system? if so this can be done by yourself with a few tools: torque wrench for torquing down headers breaker bar- removing manifold bolts portable torch from home depot- u may have to heat the bolts of the manifold to remove them be sure your exhaust hinges and hangars are in good shape. if the new exhaust does not have the necessary metal pieces and hinges to mount to the car u may have to take it to a shop to weld on those hinges or get creative to find ways to mount the new pipes to the car body.
