I wanna thank you for all your videos man.. they helped me a lot in the last 2 almost 3 years with my stang.. but with some unfortunate news I ended up spinning out and totaling my 2000 Mustang GT on Sunday.. but will definitely be using your videos for the rebuild in the near future
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Thank you and I am ok yes, only thing not damaged on the car was the engine and trans along with the whole body and frame (minus both front fenders buckling up some in spots, and both bumpers) I kinda wanna make videos on the whole rebuild but kinda wanna keep the come back process a secret to everyone local who says I can’t do it
Thank you for your video. I was struggling on the passenger side manifold to remove that nut. I was able to get it off using your method. Now I am trying to replace the manifold studs. Needless to say when I’m done I should have no more exhaust leak.
if your universal for the socket is too sloppy, just put a couple wraps of electrical tape on them, keeps them flexible, but can guide them way easier!
How would you go about fixing an exhaust leak at the first cat on passenger side? Its on one of the welds and the heat shield is in the way...im thinking about taking it to someone who can weld...they can cut out the heat shield top to get access to weld a patch and then they can weld the heat shield back together
Hey Danny I have a 1999 mustang gt my passenger side mid pipe doesn’t have the studs , do you happen to know the size and actual required hardware as well as the best way to put it on ?
tried this method on the passenger side bolts. got one of them and the other won’t budge. drenched in pb blaster and torch gun. already snapped 2 u joints into pieces. what do i do?
Its better to get it on ramps if possible on front and rear wheels too. Thats how i do it every two years before cali smog check time. More room to work with and safer
Do you just go with an offroad pipe? Also do you use mil elimanators or just leave it? I live in illinois and I was thinking of just taking them off and putting them back on when emissions comes around.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Thank’s for getting back to me. I apologize for my delayed response. My UA-cam notifications are unreliable. I have a 2000 GT with stock cats. ~23/24 years old cats. I'm getting terrible gas mileage and the car doesn't seem to have the power it used to, so I'm thinking it might be time to change the cats. I found a Flowmaster H-Pipe with cats online for around $900. I'm hoping this will fix my power issue. Did you install an X-pipe on this car? If so, did you notice any changes in power or gas mileage?
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage man it’s killing me. I have no room to get a socket in there. Tryna pull this engine but mane that bottom bolt is impossible to get a socket on
Your not supposed to put a jack stand or jack your car up on the uni body frame rail Supposed to use pinch welds for that some one did that to my gt before I bought it an the floor is pushed up on driver side where the rail is it cost me time an money on the frame machine to make it right yours look like a wet noodle 😂
It actually shows the frame rail as a lift point right in the manual. Pinch weld should only be used with the spare tire jack. They crush a lot more easily ua-cam.com/video/mKy1rNRRMRk/v-deo.htmlsi=CRE_GfsMhR6X88Y7

Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you’re all ok otherwise

I would remove the pipe and take it somewhere. They can put smoke into it to see where it leaks and fix it
I have a 97 gt, needs a starter I think. Have an xpipe I’m modifying and putting on with mil eliminators. Thank you so much, this looks like a job

How the heck you remove the pass.side o2 off so easy 😆. I used different tools and still can't get it loose
I’m on the same boat 😂
I appreciate the detail you go into.
Are they all cats ? I’ve heard that 2 of them are resonators. But idk 🤷
tried this method on the passenger side bolts. got one of them and the other won’t budge. drenched in pb blaster and torch gun. already snapped 2 u joints into pieces. what do i do?
Try tightening slightly and then loosen over and over again to help break it loose
That bottom one a pain ain’t it
Does the driver side need a gasket?
No, it’s a ball and cup design. But aftermarket kits often have a smaller coller baffel so keep an eye out that it’s not missing
@@dannyjohnsonsgaragethanks 💯
Great video
Nice guide Danny
Thanks 🙏🏼

Use Spark plug antifoulers on the downstream o2 sensors, to get rid of CEL.
Is that 4 catalytic converters o the h pipe?
Yes. Some california cars have 6
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage any idea on the early 2000's mustangs h pipe cc scrap price?
Are there 2 or 4 cats on that exhaust system?
4 but on some california cars they had 6

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage broke all my cheap Pittsburgh u joints. Top one came out Easy
My special trick was a air chisel
Video is too close.
