So I attempted to put the loudmouth in my car sunday...First I couldn't get the damn I-pipe to come off the over rear axle because of the clamp bent the pipe; then finally last night I went and got a sawzall and started to own the crapmaster and then the damn thing would not come off the cat!!! so after a whole hour of fighting it off the cat I went to undo the cat so I could gut it. Damn meineke when they put it on they stripped a bolt and I could not get it off!!!! So now I still have a leak right at the flange. I lift the rear up as far as it would go and I could not get the over axle piece of the back pipes through the panhard and axle!!! I spent over 3 hours on it and now I'm at the mercy once again for a shop to finish it. So far damages have been---
Smashed my head several times on the pavement.
smashed my fingers several times and cut them to hell.
wasted a whole night for nothing.
could not get it on with the old lady due to the above damages.
I think it was not worth the hassle and next time it will go to the shop. As many sports car I have owned in my life this one takes the cake as the worst car to work on!!! I put this in the same bracket as my old supra!! Stupid overhead cutting off half the engine; stupid ind suspension that you have to take half apart to work on it; stupid bells and whistles that get in your way everytime you have to work on it----But I love my baby!!

anybody know ballpark what it would cost for a shop to just bolt the thing on??

running on open cats sounds decent butannoying after 10 minutes.

 

I'm not even going to mess with it myself when I put new pipes on, too much hassle, I got an idea, why don't I bring it over to your house and just let you work on it!

 

Sorry to hear you had trouble man. I put mine on in an hour tops, just sawzall the stock exhaust, and everything slid right into place.

I think you should go back to whoever stripped your bolt and have them do it right this time and watch them work on it. Its not right they ****ed with your exhaust now you need to pay more money just cause they messed it up.

And at the same time you can give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it. I'll gladly work on it but let me smash it if something goes wrong

 

unfortunately its been more then a month so they will make me eat it I'm sure Oh well live and learn
