easy...remove chin spoiler ..unbolt clamps get an extension for the rear clamps ...snake through the idler pulley for the rear ..little wiggle and shake should come right off

if it is an XB you are working on, it involves the following step: rotate engine down for service. you will want the factory service manual in hand for that job. really. dean

well what do you mean by " exhaust" if you are just pulling the muffler, that is real straigh forward, no tricks involved. i f you are pulling the exhaust PIPES, that is a bigger deal. dean

muffler's no big deal. everything is real easy to reach. pull the plastic and proceed, 4 clamps is all there is to it.

I wasn't able to get any socket or universal to work on mine and had to loosen the wheel to get to that stinking rear clamp. When I did put the muffler back on, I moved the bolts on the clamp around 180 deg so I could access them on the other side, just in case I need to remove the muffler again.

A swivel ratchet and a swivel adapter allowed me to take the muffler off without removing or loosening anything else. I stuck the ratchet through the holes on the pulley.

Very easy.

quarter drive socket, the extension fits through the holes easily.

Muffler removed and exhaust (prototype) installed. Sounds like a Harley on steriods. My next step is to install a cone to create the back presure, also to keep from burning my lifters & a race module. Thanks for the help.
