Question... Help Please

[POOMERLOVE]

Hi

I just have a question my puma is in need of a new back box and was thinking of just replacing the whole exhaust. So my question is how easy is this to do on my own considering I do not have a ramp and it would be me laying on the floor?

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks

Ha the exhaust been replaced before?

Not as far as I can tell, as the back box its extremely rusty/Old

Comfortable cutting metal?

You will need axle stands and a jack, and if its the original exhaust it is all in one piece so you would have to saw off the old backbox to get it all off, or saw it in the correct place and fit a new backbox

NB the original exhaust is in one piece, replacement exhausts bolt together above and forward of the axle.It should be possible to cut the old backbox off and fit a new one to the old centre pipe if its in good condition

Okay, thanks for the help guys! Another question what size rims fit nicely without rubbing ect?

 

[quest63]

Up to 17 iirc but you may have to modify a part of the front inner wing to stop them rubbing.

Also consider the offset which is ET 34 on Puma's, varying this will upset one of the Pumas's best aspects the handling

I have 16's with no issues whatsoever apart from a limited range of available tyres for that size.
