Removing Quicksilver Exhaust..........

[ClioSpyder]

I've just had a look at my Quicksilver exhaust as I want to remove..........

Now is it just me or can this be removed without taking the back bumper off ?

It looks "doable" to me, any thoughts ?

Yes it's doable mate, just a bit heavy when it releases from the 2 clamps so take the weight at the centre of the back box with a well placed jack

 

[ClioSpyder]

Perfect Mossy, got a real good Mate who'll help me remove - so that'll save me some time and effort.

Nice one pal

Now get that Orbisoud sorted

Pulling the rubbers off will be hardest bit

Bit of wd40 and elbow Greese and they come off fine.

Or take the brackets off with the box

Thanks for all the tips Gents.

Yes I know that statement is nearly as bad as "Pulling the rubbers off will be hardest bit" [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

Or, like on my car, the rubbers might fall apart in your hands!

 

[Matt]

You got it off then? Have you got an exhaust?

It's really simple to take the bumper off for better access if you need to. :approve:

With a top tip being to remove the rear lights

And become a contortionist for the bolts in the far corner...

Yup not looking forward to that!

 

[Matt]

Long ratchet arm extension and someone to lend a hand whilst you unscrew it I found was the easiest.

yea the corner bolts are a challenge, having said that i took my bumper off, cleaned the exhaust, turned the grilles upside down and put it all back together all from my wheelchair! so its definately do-able

Removed the back Bumper today to remove the Exhaust..............now all sorted :approve:

My question is the small box that sits above the Exhaust that I'm guessing is called the "Collector Box", if this a Cat or just another Baffle section ?

Just wondering what it does as I was thinking of removing etc etc.

As always learning as I go along............
