Hey, I'm getting ready to order the dynomax catback system for my 86 iroc and was wondering how hard it would be to put on myself?? I know they say it's just a simple "bolt-on" but that's not always true. I was wondering if any if you guys have done it?? How hard is it to take off the old pipe, do I just hacksaw them off or what?? Thanks for the help.

Don't know what the set up is like on your car but I just put one on my kid's car and you can cut the old one out but you'll need a hoist in order to gain the angle you'll need to get the main pipe over the axles.
Check around, it cost me a case of beer at the local Car X to have them throw the pipe over the axle for me.

Piece of cake! Just have your cut-off wheel handy, pair of heavy gloves and safety glasses. Within a hour and a half you can be cruising.

Put a Dynomax on my Z/28 a coulpe years ago. took a couple hours. Unbolted from the cat without a problem. Had to hacksaw the pipe just forward of the axle to get the muffler out. Installing was easy. Took about ten minutes to get it in. TAKE YOUR TIME ALIGNING. I got in a hurry when I aligned everything and had to go back and redo it. The muffler sat at an angle and caused the passenger side tip to hang lower than the driverside by about 1/2".

Alright, sounds pretty easy, thanks guys. but one more thing, what do I have to look out for when I cut the pipe off, I know I don't want to cut too much, so where should I cut it?? Thanks again!
