General How Do I Fit An Exhaust Back Box?

[s and b]

the trick is to use silicon rather than exhaust paste (only after the cat mind never before as it kills lambdas)
anyway silicone allows joints to slide together easy and also oozes out of the slpit in rear pipe that you clamp up
if you use cement on the clamp and get it wrong ie blowing then clamp is ruined and you create lots of hard work

just fitted a centre pipe before my dinner took all of 15 minutes off and on because pipe was a klarius and i had used silicone on the back box last year so it came of with 5 hammer taps

i'll not deny - my first time of doing my exhaust myself too 2 hours

Why?
NO ramp
Poor access
the backbox was on tight to the center pipe

Luckily using the rear beam helped as a point i kept tugging on the center pipe (no jokes here!)

refitting is easier - just remember to make sure the backbox isn't able to dong or vibrate (seriously No jokes!) against the rear beam
it soon gets very annoying....

ads go in classifieds.. regardless of thread topic or how subtle.

But at least thread resurrection is better than creating a pointless new one
