If you can't remove the axle back bolts or don't have the right tools... STOP

Bring it to a professional installer that will place your car on a lift and use the right tools.

In our area there is Tommy @ MusicBox in So. El Monte.

I have the 14mm wrench

Do you guys use a special tool to remove the top bolt? I'm talking about the right hand side bolt near the black plastic piece on top pic.

I would like to try and tackle this myself if possible... Didn't seem like I'll break anything...

But if you think it's impossible then last resort is tommy.(:

No just socket wrenches and/or box wrenches... Swivel attachment helps too...

You are right, it's extremely easy if your handy and have experience with correct tools.

I am fairly new to this forum. May I start by complementing on the OP for sharing her great car and joez for creating such a great product.

I love the sound of the cat back. Would an axle back sounds similar? I couldnt find any video clip.

I couldnt see the exact reason the full exaust wont work with AWD, I know there must be a major reason but what is it?

Reason I ask is the axle back doesnt sound nearly as good as the full.

The F sport axle back sounds amazing almost close to the full axle back IMO
