Installed today in about 6 hours with 2 people. http://www.secureperformanceorder.co...store/c_5.html
No special tools needed but using air tools made it go faster.
This kit includes everything you need and fits very well. The instructions arent very good I used this wheb site. http://www.cajundude.com/longtubes.htm

I'd still have these done by an exhaust shop. One goes in from the top and one from the bottom, so lifting the car is a must. All day and maybe some considering your mechanical aptitude and ability.

I only have experience with my tpis longtubes but they were very easy to install. They both go in from the top. You have to remove the valve covers, alternator, oil filter, unbolt the steering intermediate shaft from the rack and then be amazed at how they just drop right in.
