Uppipe is not that bad, takes about an hour or two. Most of your time is spent moving other stuff out of the way so you can get to it. Just make sure you have the right tools beforehand, that will make things go a lot smoother. Make sure you have an O2 sensor socket and some PB Blaster and soak everything down. Dunno if you have to remove the downpipe to get the uppipe out, I've always done them both at the same time. Check ScoobyMods.com for a good write-up too.
i can help you with the up pipe..overall i gotta do the up pipe myself on my car i know we can help each other out nah mean yes u have to move ur down pipe to get to ur up pipe sucks lol
I know them both and have the tools. The uppipe takes a while because a lot of things need to come off, but the springs are a piece of cake. The springs can easily be done in one night. The uppipe would need an afternoon. Let me know...
I've helped on springs before and they werent too bad but have never done an UP install. Gimme a call if you need help doing either.
i'm off on wednesday hopefully, if u guys have tools and place i would come help u and get done with the up pipe also, last time i was 5 mins away to bolt up the up pipe when i had revice a call from my boss and then i was in hurry and reinstall my stock up insteed so maybe this time it will be a different story and also dont forget to get the gaskets i have a leak in my down pipe so when we do the up pipe install we would get those gaskeys installed also... btw i'm off any wensday so let me know also, i will help 2
Fo Sho, those exhaust bolts are pain. Make sure you have another car around so you can go to Ace Hardware and pick up new bolts.
