Default Should I DIY?

I have a tsudo s2 catback coming in and idk if I should try and install myself? I have no knowledge of setting up exhausts, but if it's basic bolt one , think I'll be fine?

you'll be fine as long as you have something to jack your car up and do it in pieces.

If you have a jack and jack stands I would DIY, its pretty straight forward.

If you dont have a jack and stands I would buy them, it would still be cheaper than having a shop do it.

Hopefully you're not a mechanic at the dealership. If you were...well... yeah..

Anyway, exhaust is easy and since you have access to a lift, should only take you 30 mins. You already have the tools you need.

bro, I'm sure if you pull one of the guys aside and give him 50 bucks at 5pm he'll just do it for you in 20 mins. If not, you work with a bunch of A-holes

Its easy as no other. Only hard part is getting the hangers out but just use a flat head and go under it and over and it will pop off. make sure you jack up the car and give it a hard push to make sure its steady. They give you some extra gaskets. You only need to use 2 of them.
