New exhaust difficulty level?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme, and it needs a new exhaust from the manifolds on back. How hard is it to get up there behind the engine, remove the old system and install a new one? I've only done a muffler before on a different car, it was easy to get to, and it was a huge pain in the ass to get through the rusted bolts and clamps.

 

If its terrible to get at in this car, then I'll just bring it to a shop and have them do it.

If you are startig at the downpipe, it isn't too tough. 2- 15mm bolts that hold the downpipe to rear manifold. If you are taking the manifold off I would plan on removing the plenum. Not too bad of a task to get it off. The tough part will be if the bolts are rusted in and trying to get it reinstalled.

Just unbolt DP at the manifold, and get a friend to help you hold up the exhaust while you disconnected the 4 or 5 rubber isolaters. Then remove it in one piece from the vehicle.
