AAM Competition Short Tail Exhaust DIY

leeyeegue

Just got the Shorty Tails from UPS today, install took me over an hour, it was snowing a little and it was hella cold, typically it shouldn't take that long at all.

No one wrote one up yet, I guess it's because this is such an easy install.. But oh well, in case someone wants a picture of how it's done, I have one.

Tools needed:

Sockets: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm
Wrenches: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm (Some places are hard to reach without wrenches)
Breaker bar: Helps out a lot.



The exhausts are nicely packed by AAM, they provided the bolts, but I didn't use them because I was too lazy to remove the original ones rusted on the pipes.




Next is to get your Z up in the air somehow, I personally used ramps.




Remove the following bolts:




The muffler is held on by 3 of the rubber things (don't know what they are called), you must remove the 3 bolts on all of them, except the 3rd one has 1 bolt.

Here is a picture of them when the muffler is out.




Picture when the muffler is still on the car, hard to get the shot...




Third one...




Now you should be able to remove the muffler without much trouble. With the help from a friend would be nice, but I did it on my own from behind the bumper, NOT under the car.

You will need to remove the rubber holding on to the muffler. I didn't know if there was a easier way, but I kinda just forced them out and then I forced them into the Short Tails.




Bolt them back on to the car, then you are done!
