i also have a minivan if you need to carry the big exhaust box. and im sure you can reuse the donut on the downpipe that shouldnt be a problem. i think they give you new gaskets for the side pipes and you dont have to reuse those.

Thank so much David, I am buying the exhaust used from Batmobile down in Philly, so the problem lies how to transport the Tanabe without taking it apart (side pipe gaskets), and how to sell or chop up my stockies so I can store them :/

jimmy's exhaust should fit inside your car no? if you lay down the front pass seat, just bring some old shirts to wrap the ends up so you wont scratch anything and an old blanket to lay it down on, it shouldnt be a problem. have him measure the exhaust from tip to tip and see if it can fin in your car.

i junked my old exhaust immediately.

really spray those bolts with pb blaster or something. when taking off my midpipe, I had to resort to cutting through the bolts with an angle grinder. While it was actually quite fun, i had to go buy one and waste time and such. (I actually tried the pb blaster too).

Haha I don't got any of those spray or grease thing everyone is talking about lol.

I don't know when I will be installing it yet, I am trying to juggle between my schedule, Jimmy's schedule, with Rob and David's schedule lol.

We should make it a meet lol. Jk.

I have decided to ditch my stock, I will take it off tmrw and dispose of it and install it myself at Jimmy's. I have bad luck with DYI, I just hope I wont have to leave my exhaust hanging on partially like my front lip lol *knock on wood.

Thanks for your help David, but I decided I shouldnt bother you too much lol.

Why wouldnt you use new gaskets there like 3 dollars . When I took my stock exhaust off the old gaskets fell apart in my hands.
