Backfire Blew Out My Downpipe...The Day Before Ice Cream Cruise

What happens here

To access the downpipe, first, use a floor jack to lift the front of the vehicle. Once lifted, remove the front wheel using a lug nut key. Next, detach and remove the inner fender liner to fully expose the exhaust downpipe and surrounding engine components.

Goal: Gain access to the damaged downpipe

Tools and materials

  • Floor Jack — Lifting the vehicle for access to the wheel well
  • Inner Fender Liner — The plastic lining that needs to be removed
  • Lug Nut Key — Removing the lug nuts from the wheel
