Cat/Back Install Questions...
After searching through the Tech archives, I came away with a couple questions that were not clearly answered there.
1. With an MN6 on a lift will I still need to remove the sway bar to manuver the exhaust over the axel?
2. If I do, I'd like to confirm torque settings upon reinstall of sway bar.
From one thread:
49 lb./ft. for the top. Is this correct?
70 lb./ft. for the bottom. Is this correct?
These require a torx bit. Is this correct?
Thanks Guys and Have a Great 4th

Yes, The sway bar still presents interference to maneuvering the intact muffler/pipe assembly away from the crossmember. Unbolting it only takes a minute.
2. If I do, I'd like to confirm torque settings upon reinstall of sway bar.

These require a torx bit. Is this correct? No. Metric sockets and wrenches are all you need

YES... But no removal necessary. Leave the end links on and the bar will drop out of the way.
2. If I do, I'd like to confirm torque settings upon reinstall of sway bar.
