Hey guys I wanted to know how easy it is to instal a cat back exhaust. It will obviously be my first time doing one and I just wanted to make sure i'm not in over my head. Going with stainless works if it makes any difference

its easy if you have a car lift, pull off stock exhaust in one piece then simply install the new catback it will bolt in no cutting or welding but i had mine tac welded when i was done installing in case you hit a pot hole they wont move.

You can do it with out a lift just much harder to do thats all. After you remove the old system install the new one and leave everything loose. After it is all in place start at the cat side and work your way back to the mufflers ajusting each pieace as you go and then tighten clamps as you work your way back. Sometimes it takes several ajustments to get it all correct. Also be very careful to make sure the car is raised off the ground in a safe manner. Before I got my lift I always used good jack stands and also left the jack in place just for good measure.
