There are lots of things to remove and every fastener needs a different size wrench. The most difficult part for me was figuring out how to disconnect all the electrical plugs (particularly the O2 sensors!). Allocate a full day.

The real question is; Will his old neighbor with the vibrating picture window approve of this exhaust???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking the cats back out when you put the new exhaust on, or leaving them in place? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swif Report post Posted August 18, 2009 Not to hard to install. You may be able to do this with out removing the rear bumper due to having the other exhaust. I would recommed to remove the rear bumper so you are not fighten the removal or the install. Make sure you have WD40 or something close to it. Spray all exhaust bolts and then have at it with hand tools.You will also need to unplug the vaccum lines and reinstall on the LOC exhaust. Good Luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckus Report post Posted August 18, 2009 Are you taking the cats back out when you put the new exhaust on, or leaving them in place? Going to have stock cats for now. If i knew that high flow cats wont set off the CEL I might consider getting a bit more aggressive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam01 Report post Posted August 24, 2009 I'm interested in the LOC exhaust for '06 as well. I'd be interested on any install notes or feedback you have when you get this put on. Also, what's the MSRP on the LOC? Thanks! Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdubs Report post Posted August 26, 2009 If anyone still has their 2006 or later stock exhaust and is looking to get rid of it, let me know and maybe we can work out a deal. I'm interested in using it to upgrade my stock 2004 exhaust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sozzel Report post Posted August 29, 2009 Here's a brief clip of the LOC exhaust I have installed on my 08 ( CATS are still intact). Nice, though quiet compared to the decat+tubi on mine, though that may be the vid. Are the valves still in place on this system? Is this the LOC system piping+valves?

The most difficult part for me was figuring out how to disconnect all the electrical plugs (particularly the O2 sensors!). Allocate a full day. I was at the garage yesterday and showed the guy this to change my straight pipes. http://www.lamboweb.com/Repairs_Section/Ga...ver_Muffler.htm It really helped. All the bolts came off and when they went back on, not a washer left over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
