Mid-pipe
 
Alright I just got home and I went into my garage to open the box to my Prochamber. Very nicely made might I add very high quality. Now I was looking under my car just to get the layout of what i'm gonna do this weekend because my arm is now somewhat mobile again. What is the easiest way to get to the header and midpipe nuts? It's a pretty tight area to work in and I just dont see a easy way to them....any suggestions?

Get an extension and be ready to curse some when you work on it. :)...also spray some wd40 on there and let it soak a bit. it makes the work a little easier.

I just went through this. First get PB buster , wd will work but its not as good and wil take more time. U will need i think it was a 15mm deep socket and extension and the passenger side one is a PITA. Also Look trough the fender well to make sure you are all the way on the bolt becuase it is hard to find the right angle. I dident do that to start with and ended up rounding the bolt alittle and had to get a new one

i thought it was easy but i have air tools.

An exstenstiona nd a swivel shocket made it so much easier.

Yea its pretty much impossible to get it off when it is rounded with regular sockets at the angle. I went to the local home depot and bought a set of sockets that dig into and grip the rounded bolt..try that if not youll probably have to take it to an exhaust shop or something
