I second all of your comments about the hanger. I did not have the pliers, so getting those removed was the hardest step by far. Could not have done it without a spray bottle of soapy water.Installed the Roush exhaust on my 2.3 MT. Sounds great. Not too loud...good low tone. Increase in hp was noticeable (only got up to 3rd gear in the neighborhood). Didnβt have an issue with the interior noise either. Also installed the Curt trailer hitch since I knew the bumper was coming off.
My comments/lessons:
- Did everything by myself other than put the bumper back on
- Removing the old muffler and bumper was very manageable by myself while laying on the ground underneath
- Invest in the rubber hanger pliers. ~$20
- Definitely grease the hanger before trying to remove the old muffler
- I donβt have sensors but still had to disconnect a wire on the driver side (license plate light)
- Did not have to remove spare tire or open the rear door
- All in, it easily took less than 2 hours (took my time)
I tried to post a video but it was too large so apologies. If someone is interested, please explain how to best do it and I will try a different way.
Great mod. I've really enjoyed it on mine.
