Exhaust replacement
Tomorrow I plan to replace the exhaust on my ZO6.
my question is..What do I have to remove to take off the axle back part of the system? Do I have to drop the rearend or will the exhaust come out over the top of the rearend?
Im going to replace the exhaust with a Full LG system from front to back.
Thanks E....

drop rear sway and they will come out with the right twist and angles. it helps to have a second pair of hands to make sure you don't catch a few wires. I pulled mine with no problems on my lift.

wd 40 all the bolts before you remove them. Getting the stock manifolds out kicked my ***.

BB fusions: right OEM axle back would not remove for me on jack stands. No way no how could I make it happen. So-out came the sawsall. Jack stands suck, but you work with what you have.

I had a shop install my Akras and even on a lift it was a major wrestling match to get the stock axle back out on the right side. I had cautioned them about damaging wires, so they were being very careful but I still couldn't believe how much they struggled to get it done. Patience and an extra pair of hands are recommended.
