What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

hey el andrew was that you posting on the ford fg fb page with the car sky high in the air trying to get the rear exhaust out >??>? 

[El Andrew]

Clearance for installation is my issue. So yes that was me airborne going backwards, trying to stick a very precise landing!

 

Might park on the lawn and dig a big hole.

 

When I moved the car without the rear section, 4 year old reckoned "that sounded awesome". Brought a tear to my eye.

[JETURBO]

Just use a hoist as the angle to get them out on a hoist is spastic let alone on a driveway with jacks etc etc  

[OZYWALKER]

Surely if you can do a clutch in your driveway you can get the zorst done. Or are sedans that chit compared to utes?

[k31th]

The stock exhaust on a sedan is one piece from the tailpipe to the other side of the IRS. It has a big u shaped bit that is hard to get over the IRS when the car is on the ground. If you don't want to keep the exhaust, just angle grinder it off haha

[El Andrew]

Yep angle grinder FTW. Exhaust was cactus anyway.

 

I think you might be right Jet - I'll be looking for a hoist in the morning for installation.

 

Or side pipes...

[k31th]

it's easy enough to install aftermarket exhausts in the region because they usually have two sets of flanges, one either side of the IRS... or is it another stock one?

[El Andrew]

Xforce S-series twin 2.5". Flange locations same as stock though.

Remove the bumper cover, rotate the exhaust 90dege so the bends are horizontal and the opening the in the tube is facing the diff centre and swing the muffler out past where the bumper would normally be (it winds up sticking behind the rh rear wheel) start feeding the pipe over the cradle. Once you've got the flange past the cradle start to rotate the exhaust back into the correct position as you wiggle it forward.
