They said this would be worste case as 2 bolts that need to be removed, look so corroded they may need to be ground off.

I did. They said this would be worste case as 2 bolts that need to be removed, look so corroded they may need to be ground off.

Thats worrying...there are 4!

But it dont take long to grind them off....drilling and tapping them takes longer (easier on a ramp.

With the kit, its not more than an hour or so

Nov 2009 at 12:34 Mark you are, of course, correct on the bolt count, my mistake. I think this is the first exhaust change on the car and the orginal bolts etc are just shot to pieces. Thanks to all for the input on this topic.
