Is it really neccesary to saw the exhaust?

[freemo77]

My new k tec cat back system arrived today, for a 1.2 and i began fitting it today when i realised i couldnt get the old exhaust off, as its a one piece from the cat back? i rang k tec and they told me to saw it! but if possible i really wouldnt like to do this, anyone know how to get the off without cutting it?

Drop the axle off?

 

[Sym0n]

Undo the bolts attaching it to the cat?

I had this problem with mine, remove the bolts from the top of the rear dampers and drop the rear axle. Only way, I sawed mine off as the damper bolts where stubborn so I gave up and got my "tool"

 

[Sir_Dave]

Undo the rear dampers, jack the rear end up (as such dropping the axle) and it slides out easily ...

 

[sideways danny]

undo the dampers from the bottom bolts (not the top nut, that's awkward!) lower the axle, and you can pull the system out

cheers guys all sorted now, dropped the rear axle out and pulled it out, given up for tonight and grabbed a beer will fit the new system in the morning

 

[Bodge!]

Pfft!

Angle grind the old one off.

Thats what i did.

Then beat the old system with a sledge hammer for being so pants!

ha when i got it off trust me i just wanted to smash it against a wall for been such a tw*t and annoying to get off!

 

[freemo77]
