CXHBumpin39 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have a 98 camaro 3.8l which I need to replace the section of exhaust between the cat and the muffler, I already have the pipe but It seems like I might need to remove something in order to get it to go in. Has anyone else replaced one and can tell me how to get it on the car? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazestorm23 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 What are you having problem with not going in? When I had to do it on my grand Prix also 3.8. I just went ahead and replaces everything from the cat back all me and friend had to do was cut it right where the catalytic converter started and got a new high flow cat converter got a connector pipe that was big enough for the new catconverter to go in and what was left of the other side and had my bud weld it. Same goes for other side. But mine splits into the dual exhaust I'm not sure if you only have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Shouldn't have to do anything else. Will have to disconnect the exhaust at the y-pipe. Be careful though, it might straight fall down on you if you have it up on a lift. Should be like 3 or 4 hangers going back along the passenger subframe, then it'll bend over the axle to the muffler and whatnot. Take it to a muffler shop, should be like a $100 job.

CXHBumpin39 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I just can't get the part of the pipe that goes over the rear right axle to fit due to the angles of the bends, I was thinking I might need to drop the axle in order to do it or try to get it to go from the back but I don't think that'll work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProMaxx316 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think the rear end needs to hang. like when you bring on a lift. Or maybe one shock has to be removed. I vote bring to shop. at my job we only chage about 80-100 bucks to put on If you supply parts. And if you want it welded or clamped. If it's worth building, it's worth over building.

CXHBumpin39 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'll have to think about it... I normally do everything on my and don't feel like paying to get it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneerchuck Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 You can get some of those big 6x6 pieces of lumber and jack up the ass end and slowly raise the ass end until the axle "floats" or is hanging. Then you'll be able to get the pipe to bend correctly. Just make sure to use 2 extra pieces to chock the front wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
