heres how to fit a new exhaust (direnza)
1. get the car high enough in the air and place on stands
2. i removed the wheels as i was doing other jobs too, i made access to the outer hangers better, remove the rear rubbers from the hangers. support the exhaust on a jack to take the weight.
3. now move to the front of the exhaust, remove the 2 nuts holding the exhaust to manifold
4. now remove this plate, 6x 10mm bolts, at the same time remove the 2x 10mm bolts holding the hangers to the plate
5. build your exhaust and lay under the car, i used a jack to get the rear up into position, refit the rubbers/hangers.
6. now move to the front end and connect the exhaust to manifold, you can now remove the jack
7. place the front hangers on the exhaust brackets, now fot the plate to the hangers and then fit the plate to the car
make sure everything is aligned and nothing knocks against anything else.
voila!
the direnza sounds like this
