Started my exhaust overhaul
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 2:05 pm
I know mono said to just patch the exhaust and see what happens, but I came accross some money, so I am just putting on the whole new exhaust on the XJ.
New APN exhaust manifold, downpipe, Magnaflow High Flow cat, and Dynomax cat-back super turbo system.
Last night I started to take things off. After I took out the air box and power steering pump I saw some things unplugged, so I put them back together. Started to take apart fuel rail and trottle body cables, but didn't completely finish because it got too dark and there were too many damn mosquitos.
Tonight I will continue to take shit off. Next step after fuel is the intake manifold and exhaust manifold. I might take off the rest of the exhaust first though, then go back under the hood.
It is easy, but very meticulous work. I am doing a write up with a ton of photos that I am going to post up on Jeepforums.
While I am at it, I am going to check and maybe replace the CPS once I get the exhaust off. I am also putting in new O2 sensors.
I had to buy some more tools for this, and I am already glad I did. Ratchet wrenches are great.
As I put things back together I am going to check all connections and possibly clean a lot of stuff up. Also check all the wire.
Just thought I would share.
