Default Just Installed My New Exhaust!

Thank you Sewell for my new F Sport Exhaust!

Took me about 1 hour to install, very easy

Here's some pictures and a video of what the F Sport sounds like in case you don't already know.

Naw it sounds just like my homies exhaust. And ya, I got it on the close out list. Shipped very quick, and everything was perfect fitting!

Now just waiting on my Joe-Z intake (which Carson just called me today and said the Anodized Blue wouldn't be available till 3 weeks, and my HKS air filter should be in around 2 days)

Then it shall sound perfect

I have heard the 350 with a joe-z + f sport exhaust, sounds puuuuuurfect!

Not ricey, pretty beefy, not too much drone. I love it.

What else can I change though besides the intake and exhaust that would be pretty easy to undo for SMOG purposes?

2 tools that you need...

14mm socket and ratchet
14mm wrench (or another socket and ratchet)

Either way, that's all you need.

I know NOTHING about cars, and it took me an hour.
The OEM exhaust is all one piece.
Your CATBACK exhaust will be in 3 pieces (Y Pipe, Left & Right Muffler)

1. Undo 2 bolts that hold the main Y pipe to the CAT
2. Pull the pipes and mufflers away from the rubber pieces that hold it to the frame
3. Pull out the old exhaust system
4. Re-bolt the NEW Y pipe to the CAT and slide back into the rubber pieces
5. Bolt the left muffler to the end of the Y pipe, slide back into rubber pieces
6. Bolt the right muffler to the end of the Y pipe, slide back into rubber pieces
7. Drive your neighbors crazy for the next hour by revving your car engine non stop haha

wow i'm sold. and I just bought that last exhaust from the closeout!
I was going to buy it next month when I have time but since I just saved $XXX I'll just hold on to it until my buddies and I have some free time!
SWEEET! Sounds so beefy! Exactly what I wanted. I'll post up a video too once I get it on! Thanks again for the video and the instructions!
