Hi fellas,
I'm toying with the idea of installing paccies(4499) to my au1 forte myself. I've never done this before and I have a few questions to ask the members. 1 Is this a job that a amateur can do, or is it best left to a professional. 2 If it can be done by me, is there any alterations to the paccies or welding to make them fit. (or do they bolt straight on) 3 Do I have to make any alterations to the catalytic converter Thanks guys, any tips, opinions greatly appreciated. |

Fitting the headers is easy - Its just the modification to the rest of the exhaust that is hard. The Pacemakes finish in a different place from memory and the flange on the origional exhaust pipe has to be moved back so it is really close to the catalytic converter.
