Re: exhaust question
sorry for being a dick in my last post. spent the last 7 hours at the bars.
anyways, i would use this as an excuse to get an aftermarket downpipe. Stillen makes a very nice one if you have the spare cash.

Re: exhaust question
Soak it with PB blaster overnight (much better than wd40) and use a breaker bar, if that doesn't work, air tools.

Re: exhaust question
I've been searching and alot of people extend the wires so now.
the wires are cut so its easier to take off.   but now that I see that everything is full of rust and bonded together, I will only be running with a open test pipe until a GB takes place on 3si
