racing beat exhaust install

I ordered a dual tip exhaust from Rx7.com in Garland, TX. last week. I got the exhaust Friday night so I behaved--went to bed early, little beer consumtion.

I opened up box more Saturday morning and found that one of the tips had been damaged in shipping. I had to wait till monday to get a hold of Rotary Performance.

They handled it pretty well and I got new order in last night. I had to help a buddy pull an engine from his Nova so I didn't have time to get to it.

But today after a painful day of dealing with inept engineers I got home and put it on. I love it. My car is stock (well except for the new exhaust). The sound is really good, my buddy who is a Mustang owner had really good comments too.

Some install points.
--I spray PB Blaster on the bolts for a few days--well about a week and a half since the first shipment was damaged
--broke one bolt on rear hanger, but was able to take bolt out so no big deal
--Needed an impact to get nuts loose on cat. I used an electric impact gun and pulsed the trigger and had sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster for some time so I wasn't too worried about stripping or breaking anything
--I put exhaust together per instructions, but when I got to the last rubber hanger I couldn't pull it on. I ended up unbolting the exhaust. The connecting pipe was bolted to cat and had it hanger installed. Then I hung the muffler assembly and bolted the connecting pipe back on.

I wll post some pics when I get a hold of a camera.
