Installing a turbo back exhaust in Toronto

[ferrerj003]

Hey everyone! I'm in Toronto right now and getting a 3' turbo back exhaust soon from a private seller. I was wondering if anyone knows a good shop that can install it for me for a good price. Or even if anyone here is willing to do it I wouldn't mind paying, if anything it'd be a good chance to learn as I'm trying to learn as much as I can! Thanks! (Btw it's for a 2G 95 AWD TSI)

Thats kinda funny as i plan to install mine today, It's really not that hard on our cars as the awd exhaust is about as straight as it gets, Just unbolt and drop the hangers.

I'd give you a hand but i'm an hour from toronto.

I'm too damn busy fabbing up custom exhaust or else i would.

Lol thanks guys. Yeah I've watched countless videos and read instructions on how to install the exhaust and to be honest it does look easy. But I have as much knowledge on cars as a 10 year old girl . I just wouldn't trust myself to do it on my own. And also would you need a hydraulic lift to get under the car or is it possible to to just install getting under with a jack only. Also when i purchase it it's already all gonna be on one piece so I assume that makes everything easier as well. Just put them on the hangers, tighten the bolts?

If its an aftermarket kit it will be flanged and bolted so it doesn't have to be put on in one peice. its alittle easyier that way. if you are alone anyway.

you'll need a jack and some stands, unless your car sits 2 feet off the ground

Lol true, actually my car's so low that my jack can't get under it from the front or the side. Think I'm gonna try getting some wooden planks and go over them then try getting under again . So yeah the whole exhaust is in one piece, I'll try to put some pictures if I can figure out how. If so to install would I just unbolt the, I think its downpipe, from the turbo from my stock system and then the rest down until the whole stock exhaust is off. Then reconnect the downpipe from the new exhaust and everything is pretty much straight forward? Like just put on the hanger, tightening bolts? I assume that's what it means by bolt-on, because the person that I'm getting it from said it would just "bolt-on".

 

[LivinLow]

you got it, it's pretty straight forward

 

[ferrerj003]

Alright sweet, I'll post back what happens. Thanks alot guys!

Be careful with having the car too low. If the control arms point upwards towards the wheels then you are going to get worse handling.

 

[ferrerj003]

Good point. Would this affect how far I can turn when my steering wheel is all the way to one side?

You can do the exhaust with 2 jack stands and a jack. I dropped mine in 5 minutes. Getting it bac in takes a bit longer cause it's awkword haha.
