Need some serious help quick!!!!!!!!

bstang46 · 06-01-2002, 10:08 AM

I just purchased an x-pipe for my 01 GT auto. It seemed to be going fine with the removal of the stock H-pipe. But, when I tried to remove the bottom(left)nut off of the flange coming from the right header. I can't get to it to take it off. Does anyone know a secret to get it off, or what I might be doing wrong? I can't get my socket on the nut completely to remove it. It is the angle of the bolt that is throwing me off.

Thanks,
Brand

You can use regular shallow socket with a universal wiggle (universal joint), but the easiest thing to use is a semi-deep socket with the wiggle built on to it.

I've probably done about a dozen X and H-pipe installs for people, and even a Y-pipe for some Chevy boy. You need three things to be successful... A swivel joint for the ratchet, patience, and a little strength. Good luck. Its really not that hard and it really worth it.

Thanks guys for all your help. I got it all tooken care off. It sounds mean with the o/r x-pipe and 2 chamber Flowmasters. I think I might need to change the mufflers though. It is loud something serious. One last question. Sould I expect any smoke after I install it and finally crank it?

Thanks,
Brand
