Give yourself a few hours. If you have a lift it should be pretty easy. If you have a buddy help you, even better! It shouldn't be more than 4 hours though.

I did it in an hour on ramps with a friend. It was a snap to put in and lined up perfectly the first time. The hardest part is getting the stock one out (it is heavy), so I would advise having someone else there to help get that part out. Good luck and if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me.

I did mine in about two hours with help from a buddy. Just a quick helper, I sprayed the rubber hangers with some soapy water and it made sliding them off super easy.

Hardest part was definitely sliding the exhaust hangers off the rubber isolators. Soapy water or wd40 makes it easy.

Since I'm looking at this same exhaust, I'd love a video to see how it sounds with stock manifolds **hint hint**

Mine took an hour with a friend on jack stands. You will not believe how easy it is.

well like scrappy doo says it was beyond easy and took no time at all... with 2 baby jackstands and some wd40 took no more than an hour of actually working on the car... sounds great, its alot lower tone and a fair bit louder, headers and getting broke in will for sure do the trick

the only means for pictures and video is via iphone ill try to get some recordings for yall.

if u plan on getting 3" exhaust either have washers on hand or order a Tunnel brace, as the clearance was not enough. washers cheap. < brace looks cooler and not cheap lol but more durable barton industries has one for $99 shipped

the second i started my car after i got it on there i knew it was exactly what i wanted. very low tone but louder and thats exactly what this kit gives. no pingy medium tone its very deep. hope it helps. and its VERY easy to do.

ill try to get pictures on later, as im at work right now
