Tool list and install suggestions and/or advice for off road h pipe

[evanjp]

Looking to install an off-road h pipe and need a basic tools list and some helpful hints on the install. I started it yesterday and got the bolt that needs to be accessed through the engine bay and started on the others and couldn't get a good position on them. How have you guys done those bolts? And will I need anything other than a 15mm socket?

Wow im surprise you got the top one off and are having problems with the rest, my experience was the opposite. I believe I used a cheater bar to crack some of the others than a ratcheting wrench. also tons of pb blaster

I may have needed to raise the car more. It's hard to get a good angle on them and was wondering if anyone had any tips. And do I need new gaskets for any of the connections?

stock gasket is better than anything else

Right but will I need new ones? I think the video said to reuse the stock ones that came on there?

You can reuse it 99% of the time, i like to take a wire brush to it be reusing but prob fine as is.

I reuse them at least once every time I pull and reinstall the pipe. As much as they cost - no way am I buying new every time. Crazy talk.
