installation is impossible w/o an air gun. There's no way to get the clamps down. Other than that, it was simple. We did my g/f's last weekend or something in half the time it took to do mine.

I'd say 2 hours with a bit of screwing around and just lagging inbetween.

FYI,
There's a bolt that sticks down from the heatshield right after the s-pipe. I had to cut this bolt down to size b/c the midpipe was rubbing it and caused the entire heatshield to resonate and it sounded like I broke the hell out of something. You wouldn't believe how scared I was after putting it in >_<

Also, be aware that the metal will move as it expands with the heat and such....most of my rubber grommets don't even "hang" anymore....they're squished to complete crap. Also, on one side, it was almost essentially useless b/c the cc midpipe hangers were too short.

This happened on both mine and my g/f's car. It still works I guess, but it didn't look right the first time I put it on.

Lol, the header/spipe install was easy. As was the exhaust. The only thing that would have sucked is attempting to clamp down the clamps w/o an air tool
