Default Bullet install ?

I bought a set of Bullets from a forum member. I got the driver's side in no problem. I am having a bit of an issue with the passengers side. I cant slip it over the axle. Is there a trick to getting them to go over? I tride slipping them in from the front but it hits on the x pipe flange. Also tride slipping them in through the rear but its hitting the sway bar. I have installed Corsas, Stingers and LM's never had this issue.

You need to disconnect the 2 clamps that hold the sway bar in place and the sway bar will swing down out of the way while its down lube the rubber bushings and then reconnect make sur you tighten bolts properly or it will creek

I agree drop the sway bar, I installed a set of bullets that were fully assembled on Theresa's 02' (as seen in sig) and I did it on the garage floor no lift, not really difficult at all.. just have to turn tiwst and maneuver everything where it needs to go..

If it is an automatic you need to remove the heat shield on the gas tank. David

I didn't, but maybe it would make it easier?

Got it! Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Removed both clamps and moved the swaybar out of the way. I am very impressed with the bullets. I finally have the sound I have been looking for. Took me four tries. I just wished I bought a set of Bullets sooner. Corsas are too quiet. Stingers sound great but not loud enough. The gates of hell would open at 3000 rpm with the Loudmouth. Bullets are perfect!

After installing my bullets on my 99 I put a small weld tack to keep the pipes from coming loose.
