okay i will be installing my converter tomarrow morning with a couple of friends. do you have to cut the exhaust or can you just unbolt the y from the headers?

 

I didnt know we were friends I think we can probably just un bolt it from the headers and be able to move it around enough. But not sure, also need to know what is the best way to get that top bolt? From the top or with ALOT of extentions, I took mine out pretty easily but have a body lift.

 

Just unbolt the y-pipe and remove it. To get to the top bolt remove the cross member and lower the tranny. It will tilt the motor so you can get to the top bolt with some extensions. Remove the top bolts 1st and then support the tranny before removing the other bolts. Good luck with the swap.

 

Dual exhaust welded from the Headers back

 

Ouch. Good luck with that one. You may have to drop the exhaust system.

 

I remember that happened to me during my first TC swap
what a pain

 

My y-pipe was stuck on, so had to cut the drivers side pipe.
