$350 to fit my extractors....
That's what my local exhaust shop is charging me.

What are your thoughts? Mine were "gtfo"

Is there any mod work or is it a straight fit. If there is no mod work then that is pricey but if he is going to be cutting and welding then that is probably about right.

RPW extractors..... straight fit....
Only reason I can't do it myself is because the nuts are so fukin tight that I nearly snap my friggen socket (think my forearm will snap before the socket).

You can have all the leverage but you'll also need a hoist to save motherloads of hour.

BUT

...then go ahead with jacks and axle stands and use all the leverage you want and have fun underneath there.

Get the engine nice and hot then do it - if you can without getting burned that is. Once you have them moving douse them in WD40 and let the engine cool down again.

Manifold to down pipes. Haven't even attempted the manifold to head but I'm sure that will be just as lovely.

I think I just need a larger socket. With the one I use now, when i use the extension bar thing to reach the nut, it just friggen almost begins to bend when i pull on it with all my force so I'm guessing I'm losing a lot of loosening power through that haha.

Spray it with WD40 first.
