Tiem requried to fit exhaust?
Right, my exhaust didn't arrive over the weekend, which is quite annoying!!!!
I'm hoping that it'll arrive tonight. Question is: How long would it take to fit? I can't take a sick day so a leisurely day donig it tomorrow is out of the question. Think I've got all the tools I'll need: Hacksaw Spanner Exhaust sealant stuff metal tape measure Could I get it done in say 3 hours (max) tonight? It's just a bit of sawing right? I'll worry about unrivetting the baffle at the weekend. Dirk |

forget the hacksaw, use an angle grinder or air saw if you have access to one. far quicker and neater

I did mine with a Dremmel, got through about 4 cutting disks, but still much quicker than a hacksaw.

grinder is the way to go! zero effort!
 i didnt use sealer, it leaked abit at first but black exhaust shi# must have blocked it from the inside cuz it dont now.plus sealer will make it harder to remove if ever you have to take it off again. |
