uh its just like any other catback install, takes 30 min to an hour if u have a lift, takes maybe a couple hours if your on stands..

Installing an exhaust is easier than installing an Intake.

The only issues you're going to run into is the tools you will need. Get PB Blast for the hangers (works WONDERS), and use the same stuff on the bolts if you are having problem loosening them.

The bolts on the end of the cat that you may need to remove (I had to) are a PITA to remove since they are machine pressed in there. Make sure you've got muscle or impact tools for those.

Other than the bolts, it's PIE.

If you read above, I state exactly what you need.

Muscle and impact tools. Honestly, taking it to a shop and having them remove the bolts is usually a better idea. It's worth $ to have someone else do it if you can't.

i completly disagree

i trust myself more than some random guy who doesnt care about my car as much as i do...

a general rule for any stubborn bolt... longer wrench = more torque to turn it.... put a piece of pipe over a wrench and/or use a mallet

ill probably be doing my exhaust within the month and im not too worried about the bolts to the cat (well i do have an air wrench for a last ditch effort)

If you read, I'm talking about the actual bolts that are machine pressed in. The nuts are easy as hell to take off with some muscle, but if you don't have a good amount of space and muscle to knock those bolts out, you may be stuck. The only reason why this applies is that the skunk2 70mm flange that meets up with the cat is pretty thick - the OEM bolts that are machine pressed in the cat side of the exhaust system are generally too short to put bolts on with the Skunk2's fat flange. (Skunk2 has longer replacement bolts that come with the exhaust).

Thankfully I had a friend that had one really strong arm and a very large weighted mallet + punch tool. Of course his other arm is missing a hand, so he had 2 arms in one, lol!
