No DIY Exhaust

I know it's a simple installation but every recommendation always helps the installation go smooth and simple . I recieved my RB REV8 exhaust system a couple of days ago and plan on installing it this weekend. Jedi54 already gave me a tip by spraying the rubber exhaust mounts with WD-40 the day prior to the installation. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

in another thread it was suggested to use dish soap... i used wd40, it worked, but now that i have thought about it i think the dish soap would have been better.

Yeah the WD-40 didn't help much uninstalling the stock however, it made a huge difference installing the RB! Took me about 1.5 hr to uninstall stock and .5 hr to install RB. Those damn rubber mounts are a &#$%* to get off! I had to use steel pry bars to get them off. The end result of the RB exhaust installation was worth it though. I love this exhaust. The only tip I can offer for future installers is use a ice pic to wedge into the rubber mount hole and stick the WD-40 (red straw nozzle) into gap and spray it. I just sprayed the rubber mounts assuming it would help.
