Just bought a Catback for my MK3 Wolfs Jetta. I've never done an exhaust job. Does anyone know of any step by step guides on how to do it?

If its not seized its easy. Get the car up high enough, unbolt old parts, bolt in new parts.

If it is seized go to an exhaust shop.

^ this

Its really the only correct way to go about doing exhaust work. You need to be able to weld, have an exhaust flange tool and a pipe bender..

So take it to a shop and pay 150 bucks for the install.

I've never worked on a car that wasn't seized.

Nice thing about rusty bolts exhaust bolts.

They'll shear right off with an impact.

If the car is high enough, getting the exhaust off is easy.

It's only really challenging if you are building from scratch.
