Gibson exhaust install?
I know a few guys here have it, just wondering how tough of an install it is? I have all the tools but am disabled now and my hands don't last as long as they used to. Hopefully I can get it done in the driveway cause I can't see paying someone to bolt parts on....[:@]
Any ideas / shortcuts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

RE: Gibson exhaust install?
Hi Mike..
As you know, I did the Gibson system..It took about an hour and a half to two hours total...I had to jack up the right rear corner of the body to let the axle hang, to finagle the original stock system out over the top of the axle, in one piece..Once I was past that, it was a snap to install the Gibson..Use WD-40 on all the hanger rubbers to ease them off and on..That's where the use of your hands could become critical...Good luck mate.
PS; I would wrap a heavy towel or rag around the axle before you try pulling the stock muffler and pipe out the rear..it will save on tearing up the brake lines and stuff on top of the axle.
