Really great video, I love the running commentary, keeping us informed every step of the way, and clear picture video of it all. I'm gonna do my own now and all because of your great video, thankyou !! Best wishes from Alan, in England.

Recently came across your channel and want to say you do a great job. I recently had to replace all four studs in my cats on my G35. I only have access to Mapp gas, so i cut off what i needed with an angle grinder. I then used a 20 dollar ball joint press from harbor freight to get thr little bit of studs left. It worked great for all of them.

Super informative, you just saved me hundreds of dollars. You are a fine teacher!

Really gud how he's explaining and showing step by step the work.

Hey there. Great pleasure to meet you. I see that you are definitely great at examining and inspecting vehicle parts. You are definitely the best repair guy.😊

Very helpful video. My '01 grand prix is having exhaust issues and I may try to replace it myself even though I'm a novice mechanic. Doesn't seem too hard and I don't mind getting my hands dirty. Is there a site I can go to that will tell me what muffler I'd need and all that jazz? Thanks Jim!

Jim, Great job in your video. i have a question. In making the front connection, I used a gasket and 2 new bolts but water drips from the connection even after tightening the new nuts down. Did you use any kind of gasket sealer? I did clean off the old gasket but still a water leak. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

@jimthecarguy

Great video, Jim. I'm about to replace the exhaust system on my grandson's 2000 Nissan Maxima. I'm using Walker aftermarket components- (Cat Converter, Resonator, Muffler) . This may be a dumb question. What type (grade strength) and size of fastener bolts and nuts are you using in this video to connect the components. Walker does not supply any fastener hardware with their components. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Heat is your best friend when it comes to rust. It just shows the crap that they put on the road for de-icing that causes this.

@@rezagrans1296 I ended up grinding off the studs and then trying to drill them out with cobalt bits, but it was loud & slow going and the neighbors were getting annoyed. I gave up & took it to my mechanic who was able to pry apart the flanges, heat the remaining stud (nubs) and twist them out with vice grips. Not easy working on the back in a tight spot for hours either. Win a few, lose a few -cheers!

I don't even think OE exhaust from the dealer are Stainless like how they come with the car. I wonder where to get stainless exhausts. I live in the rust belt. My Corolla had 280,000 miles in 15 years, original exhaust. My Honda is 9 years old, still original exhaust. All thanks to Stainless Steel.

If you use a good quality pipe and muffler and they are not damaged you should have no problem .Thank you for watching and your advice.

If an exhaust is rusted can you use rust converter to loosen the bolts on the stud?

Is it okay to take it off from the front part? Like on my 2010 dodge challenger theres 2 pipes with clamps and is the only thing that has bolts where I can unscrew some is it okay too?

Stupid question but did you drain the fuel first?
