I have a 1998 V70T5 and just purchased a TME exhaust system from IPD. I need some hints on installing it. I don't want to take it to a muffler shop unless I have to.

How hard will it be to remove the stock exhaust? I'll have to cut it and remove it in two pieces, right? After that it seems installing the new TME exhaust will be straightforward. Any things I should watch out for? Help from someone who has already done this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The only problem you will have is getting the car off the ground far enough to get the new exhaust in. When I replaced the pipe on a 1995 850T, I had the jack stands holding up the rear as far as the stands extended and I still needed an additional inch. That was close to 24 inches.
When mating the new exhaust to the cat, it helps to have a helper push the new exhaust into the old one while the clamp (you will need a new one, and bolts) is being tightened.

Please answer your responses. We need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)
