THX for the help guys....gonna remove the tow hitch tommorrow morning.

Other than that....the exhaust is awsome. Great sound and just what I was looking for. And I hate those rubber hangers

Great product from Stylis and Precission Muffler!

If you have a manual axle back, you will not have to worry about those tow hitch hangers at all.

Yeah it takes some muscle to take it off, Just spray it with WD40 and let it sit for a bit.

Well...I was only able to get one of them off. The one closest to the bumber simply will not budge and has been stripped. So it looks like its a zip tie for me. Any other suggestions on how to get that bolt off?

Any other suggestions on how to get that bolt off? Should I go to a local shop and see if they can take it off?

PB Blaster and a big breaker bar or an impact wrench might work.

I guess you would have to take it to a shop to see if they can take it off. I know that some Scion Evolution members in San Diego are having an install day and anyone is invited to show up. I am sure they could help you remove the bolt for you. I would do it for you. but I will not be in the socal area until the end of the month.

I will be at the Scion Triathlon April 30th 2006 at the Irwindale speedway. You can find me there if you can't get the bolt off by than. www.PrecisionMuffler.com will have a booth set-up with www.Scionspecialties.net
