Doesn't matter... there's not much to it... I'd just take it to a good shop.

Most repair facilities and muffer shops can take care of it in about an hour. I've had customers goto places like Midas and have them take care of it.

I took ours to a highly rated muffler shop in the Fort Worth area and paid 175 bucks, install was perfect.

My dealership actually REFUSED to install my cat back system. Which I thought was funny, cause I got it from Borla and they MAKE the GMPP aftermarket exhaust.

Its not hard at all, I did it in 45mins by myself with just two jack stands on the back.

It's just 16 bolts, I wouldnt pay some one more then $50 for this job. If you were in Austin I'd say just bring it to my house with a 6 pack.:drinking:

Funny you say that, that was my currency!!! Cept it was a 12 pack and by the end it was "THAT LOOKS EVEN TO YOU RIGHT?!?!"

On a serious note, what a shop will charge you to install, you can buy a floor jack and two jack stands, and be JUST fine. Go borrow a torque wrench from your local parts store cuz your Corsa requires each bolt on your exhaust clamps to be torqued. You can use your manual torque wrench aka your arm, but I always prefer just to use the specs they give you.
